I tried running ltsp-make-client in Lenny (debian-edu-config 1.424~svn55515
on Debian GNU/Linux edu 4.0alpha "Lenny" - Unofficial i386 CD Binary-1
20081106-10:39):
1)	It couldn't execute 'chroot $target aptitude update' as aptitude was
not installed (in the chroot), it's possible to use apt-get. (I did to
install aptitude then ran it again). 
2)	It stopped again after doing 'chroot $target aptitude update' as it
didn't have the public key for the skolelinux repo.
3)	It dropped out once more without any warning at the same point
because it couldn't read the local repo. on CD. (The CD was not in drive).
4)	It hanged after running cfengin with "tail: +: invalid number of
lines", apparently during DHCP modification. Once hitting ^-C it ended
'abnormally'.

Seems it requires a little more hacking.
Odd.
