I have an existing LTSP setup on Debian/Lenny serving a diskless
netbooting thin-client over wired ethernet and working well for several
years now.

I'd like to also use an old IBM T22 laptop as a wireless LTSP client
(PCMCIA card 802.11g).  It has a Lenny install; using XDCMP from gdm's
chooser to connect to my server works well enough (wlan connection under
the control of wpasupplicant) but I'd like to get the laptop to display
an ldm login instead of gdm to get the benefit of ssh and compression
and so that the laptop presents the same dedicated-to-the-server login
screen as the wired thin client.  (I'm assuming netbooting the laptop
via a PCMCIA card which won't connect until its got its firmware from
the OS is completely out of the question!)

I see there's an ldm package in Lenny, completely separate from the
ltsp-client packages.  If I install it on my client machine, can someone
give me some hints how I would go about replacing gdm with it and
configuring it to point to my LTSP server ?  (Is it selectable via
Debian's "alternatives" system as I believe xdm is ?)

Thanks for any tips
Tim
