so if I follow the howto on the wiki, will my resulting server be serving
diskless on the 192. NIC? (And thin clients not at all?) Then that will
make cabling difficult. (and also means that the howto needs updating)

I liked it before when I had a sarge ltsp server serving diskless anywhere
in the school (10. network).

a sign of ageing?
