There is a file /etc/SuSE-release that contains a version number. The
LTSP setup checks the contents of that file to determine whether the
platform at hand is supported or not.

You could try forcing LTSP into believing that your platform is
supported by temporarily changing the version in /etc/SuSE-release to
i.e. 8.0 which is already supported.

Mind you that this workaround doesn't account for any organizational
changes that SuSE may have performed to become *United*. They are
very notorious for doing things in ways nobody else does them.

Don't forget to undo your changes in /etc/SuSE-release once LTSP is
installed.
