Great to hear that you are testing the script!  Note that you want to
run the latest one to get a few bugs fixed, so I suggest modifying
/etc/apt/sources.list to use the etch-test repository, and upgrade to
the latest debian-edu-config.

Can you provide the content of /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/sources.list?
It would be easier to help if we could see what it look like.

Btw, I noticed your .jp address.  It would be great if you could
install the japanese profile, and verify that all packages needed for
japanese input etc is installed and working out of the box.

Happy hacking,
