Just run kiwi-ltsp-setup without any options to know what different
things it offers to do, there are options that just build images and
not set up any config files.

KIWI-LTSP sets up /etc/dhcpd.conf, /etc/exports,
/etc/nbd-server/config, /etc/xinetd.d/tftp and /srv/tftpboot. Check
out /usr/share/kiwi/image/ltsp/suse-10.3/kiwi-ltsp-functions.sh for
all the changes it carries out.

/srv/tftpboot

/srv/ is a proper place, but you can put it where ever you prefer,
change the kiwi-ltsp config accordingly.

Do boot up clients and let us know what worked, try different
hardwares as client, even normal pc pxebooted.
