Daniel, you will get much better mileage from having each terminal assigned a unique login. that way you'll know where the traffic is coming from and the system won't be confused about the value of DISPLAY variables, which is often the case when you don't use ssh and just try to derive

Vinicio, it looks like you are trying to load vmlinux-2.4.19-ltsp-1. Check to make sure that you spelled that correct. that is: vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1 ^ ^ Notice the 'z' where you had an 'x'. But, that may have been a typo. So, the other problem I see, is you should be loading
