Matt,
Yes, you should be fine. The 2.09pre releases are installed into /opt/ltsp,
whereas the older releases are in /tftpboot/lts.
So, they can both exist at the same time.
The files you will have to be careful of are the /etc/exports file and the
/etc/dhcpd.conf files.
In the /etc/exports file, you will want to export both the
/tftpboot/lts/ltsroot
and the /opt/ltsp/i386 directories.
In dhcpd.conf, you can control which workstations get which kernels and
which
root directories.
Hope that helps,
Jim McQuillan
