Hey Asmo,

from epoptes, select the clients and run:
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/Boot/LTSP
sudo dd if=/dev/nbd0 of=/mnt/Boot/LTSP/i386.img; reboot

Then edit pxelinux.cfg/default so that it reads:
APPEND ro initrd=ltsp/i386/initrd.img init=/sbin/init-ltsp 
root=/dev/sda1 rootflags=ro loop=/Boot/LTSP/i386.img

That's the quick method that still uses PXE and loads the 
kernel+initramfs from the server, but doesn't use NBD at all.

It's also possible to install grub 2.0 locally and have it read the 
kernel+initrd from inside i386.img, but that's a longer how-to... :)

Cheers,
Alkis
