the most current version of the ltsp_initrd_kit is 3.0.15.  That is
intended for LTSP-3, and works with LTSP-4.0.

LTSP-4.1's kernels are built in the LBE, not with the ltsp_initrd_kit.

We are making some changes to the kernel build process, to allow
you to build a kernel without the LBE.  For that, we'll likely use
dhcpcd, which seems to work better than dhclient.
