Well its irrelevant anyway since my pxe thin client cannot find the nfs root.
Now, the tuts on ltsp say to use a dhcp server as the ltsp server. Well I dont want, nor need to do that since I have a router with pxe or "next server" options in the dhcp server and PXE booting installs works just fine, but correct me if I am wrong. But in these tuts it looks like the dhcp-server to run typically with ltsp has an extra entry in its conf for the location of the nfs root, is this neccesary? is this why I my clients cant find the nfs root?
