Yes, it should. I was a bit tired yesterday afternoon and just made a 
mistake, it's been fixed.

Oli once suggested that if we do a pre-built squashfs package we should 
make it work like the flash installer and keep the squashfs data 
seperate from the actual package. Perhaps we could do something similar 
on the DVD, and have the data outside of the system's squashfs on the 
DVD. Perhaps we could get a button in Ubiquity that says "configure as 
LTSP server" in the advanced dialog that would call a configuration 
script that installs dhcpd, etc from the DVD and then copy the squashfs 
accross and also extract it again (so that someone could run 
ltsp-update-image again if needed). Obviously all of this would need 
some discussion and we'll have to work with other teams to make sure 
that it gets done properly. This is just one way I can see it possibly 
happening.
