That's where I want to have them, only in the client!  Let's put it this 
way, instead of doing PXE (which I cannot because of the platform) I 
want to start out with the client environment preloaded, and then go on 
as usual (I have installed many other "normal" PXE clients, but this is 
an old iMac that cannot do PXE and I have been looking for an 
alternative solution.

No, you got the wrong idea, or I put it wrongly.  All I want is to use 
the very minimal installation I already have.

I have the server already running.  It looks as if it should be easy to 
run the client from disk instead of booting it over the network.  And 
the, of course, everything would be running in the server, but fuse, 
pulseaudio, nbd and X.

I hope this time I did a better job of explaining it.

Friendly, Eduardo.
