If you know the model of the nic, just make an etherboot-floppy.

removing the HD, put in another computer as
slave, mount it, edit /etc/passwd, put it back into the original
computer and logging is as root?
Putting sensitive data in encrypted files helps alot more.

Why not use a dedicated box to serve the LTSP clients with kernel, NFS
etc. and let them login to the MS W2K with rdesktop?

"sender" concept when handling mailing lists gives you the power to
easily respond to the list, or the original poster. Kmail has that
capability, read the manual (I think it is "L" (or is it "l"?) instead
of "r").

tboot solutions is the wrong tool to try that. Set
the runlevel of the workstation to 3 in lts.conf. Start X manually
with
root~:# /usr/XR611/bin/XFree86 -query 192.168.0.254
or
root~:# /usr/XR611/bin/XF86_SVGA -query 192.168.0.254
