Well, you didn't mention which distro, so I can't give a firm answer on the MueKow support. If you are looking at Debian or Ubuntu, then MueKow is the way to go. if you are thinking about Fedora, then you'll have to wait a bit longer, as they are just getting started with the integration. (see http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Ltsp5 for details on the future of LTSP-5) If you just want to stick with LTSP-4.2, then you'll need the ltsp_kernel_kit. Take a look at: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LTSP-42 Search that page for 'kernel_kit' and you'll find the link for downloading the tarball. Once you have that, un-tar it. it includes the config files for many of the kernels that we've shipped with LTSP. Use one of those config files, copy it to your kernel source tree, but call it '.config'. Edit your Makefile in your kernel source tree and modify the 'EXTRAVERSION' entry to be unique. run 'make oldconfig' and then use your favorite kernel config utility to make any changes to the config that you need. Build the kernel and modules, and install the modules, just as if you were building the kernel for your server. Then, in the ltsp_kernel_kit, there's a script called 'build_initramfs' that you need to run. It'll ask you a bunch of questions about where your kernel source is and other things. Then, it'll produce the initramfs and kernel that you need. It'll also produce a modules package that you'll need to install in your ltsp tree. In the end, it may be easier to just wait for MueKow. But, at least you've got a clue where to start.
