You can just have the kernel do the ip-autoconfig and nfs-root for you. Although keep in mind, Linus keeps threatening to remove those items from the kernel. > > And that's about it.

Hmm, dunno. What version of the kernel are you using, and what version of LTSP? We didn't have the newer module tools until 4.1.1 (or was that 4.1).
