Display reverts to text mode during clock synchronisation
(ntp.ubuntulinux.org), after about 15 seconds - just like you said. This
may be due to my dns not supporting IPv6, hence dns time-outs :-(
I'll fix that and try again...
The start-up font problem reports:
Setting up general console font...
t_kernel_font: Invalid argument [fail]
Cheers,
Rick.

1. No default for IP address. I chose 192.168.1.254 to fit into my
existing network.
It should default to 192.168.0.x, to match the default dhcpd configuration.
(bug)
2. Prompt to configure the dhcpd.conf file specifies the /etc/dhcp3/
directory, but this should be /etc/ltsp/ (as far as I can see).
No such prompt should ever be displayed during installation.
(bug)
3. Base system configuration gave an error saying "One or more packages
failed to install". The supplied dhcpd.conf file (in /etc/ltsp/) defines
a range for a subnet on 192.168.0.0. If the server's IP address is not
on this subnet, then the dhcp server fails to start, and
ltsp-server-standalone can't get configured. I edited the conf file, ran
"dpkg --configure ltsp-server-standalone" and it now seems to work.
If we're going to prompt for an IP address during installation,
then the dhcpd.conf needs to be generated, rather than static.
(bug)
4. Minor stuff: During startup, "Setting up general console font" fails,
and reverts to text-mode.
The former is not related to the latter. If it is reverting to text mode,
it is a different issue (and we need to know at which step this happened;
most likely a particular step took longer than 15 seconds).
Also, DHCP info might be daunting for
semi-technical users (eg specifying network interfaces, instruction to
edit the dhcpd.conf file, warning about default being non-authoritative
etc.)
Bugs.
