the changes you made to the ltsp-nbd script above will be pulled in by
the command:

sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 update-initramfs -u

dont call mkinitramfs directly... 
whats the particular reason for copying it to be called nfs (which wont
be executed without further changes to the initramfs setup that defaults
to ltsp-nbd) ?

that copies the kernel and initramfs in the tftp dir ...

ltsp-update-image insnt needed here your initramfs gets pulled by tftp
before the image is even available ...

as i said above, the initramfs isnt used from the image but only fom the
tftp dir :)

i should probably change the messages here if it confuses you, the
"info:" should have told you something though :) it means that there is
no need to add the image to the inetd.conf since it is already there
with the exact same config the script would add. since there is no
"error:" you can rely on it having finished properly :)

right, and adds an identical line ;)

just keep the name and use the update-initramfs and ltsp-update-kernels
scripts as described above, keep a backup of a working copy of the
script so you are not screwed if the clients dont boot anymore and can
roll back :)
