Fantabulous.  That was just the document I was looking for!  I can now boot using PXE 
instead of
a floppy right into... my stupid non-working kernels.  I'm so close now I can taste 
it, so I'm
whiddling away my day at a rather poor attempt with trial-and-error with make xconfig 
to make a
functional kernel. So far, no luck.  Mostly errors about VFS being unable to mount 
root fs and
blah blah. I'm guessing that has to do with there being no hard drive for it to find, 
mount,
use, tickle, whatever.

Question:  with this model outlined in this document, it is noted that the stock LTSP 
kernels
(vmlinuz.all, vmlinuz.eepro100) won't work because they need to be tagged with mknbi 
1.2  I'm
doing this with the (broken) kernels I'm squeezing out, but is there some way I can 
just
reverse-engineer the vmlinuz.all kernel from ltsp.org back to clean state so I can 
retag it?  Or
maybe instead someone could forward me a kernel configuration file that xconfig lets 
you save
before doing a make dep / make bzImage. That way I could mozy around in xconfig and 
see what it
is that actually I need or don't need to do.

Maybe I'm asking the wrong questions.  But I've looked around and haven't seen any 
handy
make-your-own-ltsp-kernel mini-how-tos...

I know, I know. The pesky nature of newbies...

Thanks again.. Marty's doc was a lifesaver.
