To use all the fancy local media stuff you need LTSP5 LTSP5 needs much more than 16M I'm sure the server has at least 1 IDE. Never seen a mobo with none, but get 1 machine and use that to read all your disks. You CAN mount local disks on LTSP4 - (I did, I forget detail) you need a driver for IDE, local boot prompt (ie root# ), mount the disks and copy. Frankly very messy way to do it.
