"For the future, it is planned that LTSP chroots will be bootable read-write..."
This would be useful. The issue for us isn't so much the graphics,
but, for certain circumstances, in being able to have the programs see
the client hardware at installation (e.g., virtualbox or nvidia
drivers from s

Why? What are you trying to gain?
The fat client image isn't loaded
I think I'm the one who said that. I'm not sure how to do what you
want. Maybe some fancy combination of symbolic links and targeted
chrooting would do. Maybe you could find a way to have /usr be a
separate mount entirely. Actually... that might work. You'd have to
