Hi.  This sounds very much like what we call Diskless Workstation.  We
have a script to convert a normal LTSP installation to one where every
machine PXE-booting on the 10.0.2.0 network will boto as a diskless
workstation, and every machine PXE-booting from the 192.168.0.0
network will boot as a thin client.

Does this solve the same problem?

Check out
<URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/LtspDisklessWorkstation>
for the details.  There are a few bugs in the current setup, but we
are working to have it fixed before we release.

Happy hacking,
