The client on it's first PXE boot contact, gets it flash space (hard drive) partitioned and it copies the image using tftp(as small as 128 mg) and leaves it there. I'm having some issues with getting the client registration and configuration files to work so I haven't seen it work yet except at Brainshare. We are hoping to work with the LTSP crew this week to merge the two technologies so that all forms of "thin clients" will be supported, i.e. diskless, flashdrive, usbdrive, repurposed PC's, and Live CD\DVD . LTSP5's goal has been to eliminate the need for LTSP to manage the boot kernel from it's LBE and Kiwi's goal has been to build all forms of bootable images. I think we can create some synergy from the two projects in a short time.
