I do not believe it is documented yet.

This is the new PXE meny with installer and boot selection option. It
should sho up on the skolelinux network.  Thin clients should still
boot automatically as before on the thin client network without such
PXE menu.

I recently added code to add a diskless workstation option to the PXE
(by running ltsp-make-client during installation on combined
main-server+thin-client-server installations), and this might have
messed up the LTSP chroot a bit.  We are working on weeding out the
remaining bugs

This seem to be the remaining bug, not quite sure what the issue is.
Some claim the issue is DNS resolver related, and changing etc/hosts
and/or etc/resolv.conf solve it.  I am not yet sure what the problem
is nor how to fix it.

Happy hacking,
