As Francois said in his post, you need to install the i386 tree.  This can be done with
the "sudo ltsp-build-client --arch=i386" command.  I did not need to remove the
/opt/ltsp/amd64 folder and files, I just let i386 reside next to it.

However, your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file will still be pointing to the amd64 tree.  You
need to modify this file and change the references to the amd64 folder to the i386
folder.  The last few lines of the file should look like the following:

if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" {
    filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
  }
  else{
    filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
  }
  option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
}

It could be that it is still referring to the amd64 folder which is causing errors and
keeping dhcp from starting if you removed the amd64 folder.
