How to remote control a client on the fly ? if you have not install vnc in the 
chroot before bootng the thin-client? 

Quite easy if the thin-client filesystem is mounted through NFS instead of NBD: 
change made in the chroot, are shared with the thin-client in real time 
(except for some files and directories that use tmpfs).

3 step:
1. go into your chroot and install x11vnc: 
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
apt-get install x11vnc
exit

2. ssh in your thin client and start x11vnc
ssh r...@thin-client-ip
x11vnc -display :7 
(if you haven't change default ldm display)

3. tunnel x11vnc via SSH 
ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 r...@thin-client-ip

Or use something like this to create ssh tunneling and start x11vnc at the 
same time: 
ssh -t -L 5900:localhost:5900 r...@thin-client-ip 'x11vnc -localhost -display 
:7'

Note: x11vnc http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ can connect to an existing X 
session.
Note: if you haven't setup ssh server in the thin-client, you can do it at 
step 1. I guess that you must have enabled the root account before, because 
/root is tmpfs in thin client.

Any comments ?
