Not anymore! :D I have gotten my PXE boot system to launch from the 
server and it comes up! Yay! :) I did the

sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386

again and then did the:

sudo ltsp-update-kernels

and rebooted the server. When it came back up I rebooted the PXE and it 
got a kernel and came up (albeit a bit more slowly than I had expected).

So, now I have LTSP working and the machine is booting, and I'm 
exploring how to control the desktop that is provided to the kids... but 
thats a different thread. ;) Thanks to all who offered help to this n00b! :)
