In this case he has locally loaded linux on each of the machines. Two really quick ways to do what he wants is either of the following.
1. In the inittab file switch the machine to boot to default runlevel three and put this in rc.local. /usr/X11R6/bin/X -query server.domain.com 2. The best option is to add a entry at the bottom of the innitab that reads as follows. Then in the inittab make the default runlevel 5. comment out this line at the bottom #x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/perfdm -nodeamon add this line below it. x:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/X -query server.domain.com Of course since he is using locally loaded linux he will not be really using LTSP but the concept is exactly the same. The only thing he needs turned on at the server is XDM, KDM or GDM and it will work.
