Not exactly.

What that's saying is:

   If you are booting with PXE,
      use the 2.6.9 kernel (which is old)
   Else
      use the 2.6.16 kernel (which is for ltsp-4.2, although a bit old)


If you have the latest LTSP-4.2 packages installed, you should be using:

   "/lts/2.6.17.8-ltsp-1/pxelinux.0"  for PXE workstations

and:

   "/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.17.8-ltsp-1" for Etherboot workstations.
