There are several options
1. I believe the Debian installation process can be persuaded to install onto an NFS root with a little work. 2. IIRC Debian has some pre-rolled pacakges which set up suitable root filesystems. 3. SLXT is designed to do this for you http://www.pucebaboon.com/SLXT/ 4. Trial and error - add things to the root image until it works how you want. Check the Filesystem standard (via http://www.debian.org/devel/) for which parts of the filesystem you can share between clients.
