Samarth-
I don't know anything about wireless Etherboot, but
you already have Linux installed on the hard drives.
You could save yourself a lot of trouble and use the
existing X-Windows capabilities on the local machines.
Just replace the current way of starting X-Windows
with a call like the following:
X -query bigserver
Then just enable XDMCP on the server (in gdm/xdm/kdm).
Admittedly, this does not give you the benefits of a
truly diskless setup, but I don't believe there
currently exists a "slam dunk" solution for using LTSP
with laptops. You do get what I would consider the
most powerful feature of LTSP... centralized updates
and administration of applications.
