That is basically what I was going to do.

Did you use pxelinux? Did you build your own?

Did you build your own custom kernel for the thin-client (to mount and use
nfs for root for example before init is ran)? If so, any pointers on what
you did?

Or just boot a small memory disk (initrd) and then mount and run
pivot_root?

Did you use a NFS swapping patch for your kernel? (I probably will not use
that.)

Does this mean you used LTSP to provide some parts (some "glue") for your
thin-client solution?
