My advice too. 32 MB is not usable with modern apps, but should be
enough for the X server (especially when running at 16 bpp).

I don't know the current status of ltsp when it comes to nfs-root at
powerpc, but if powerpc is not supported, then boot from local disk
and start X from local disk with

X -query <ip.of.server>

That, and configuring a server to accept xdmcp connections (e.g. gdm),
is a very easy thing to do, compared to setting up disk-less thin
clients mounting / over nfs.
