Check out <URL:http://folk.uio.no/pre/syslog-edu-install-ltsp-fail>.
It contain this error (and another one caused by this when
ltsp-make-client fail):

Notice how the package list download failed. This broke the LTSP
installation. Is the installing machine taken off the net when
dhclient renew the IP address?
Happy hacking,
