Yes, basically they say NFS will not start, but I don't know why:

--------------------------------------------------------

/etc/exports was empty, I created this entry:

/opt/ltsp/i386 *(rw)

---------------------------------------------

/etc/hosts:

192.168.1.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 edubuntu

(plus default ip6 lines)

The installer never asked for my IP addresses so I had to set
them all manually. Not sure if it's correct. 192.168.1.1 is my
routers address.
IP range is 192.168.1.64 - 192.168.1.200
-------------------

/etc/hosts.allow:

nbdrootd: ALL: keepalive


/etc/hosts.deny has settings.

It was build-ltsp-chroot which failed. I installed it manually
with apt-get.

NFS was completely missed by the installer.

I think if I can get NFS running the client should be able to
mount the OS.

Many Thanks.
