i found these links:
http://ldc.goe.net/ (german)
http://www.linux-hamburg.de/diskless/ldc/ (german, too)
http://www.ltsp.org/

here is my export (maybe it helps you):
/nfsroot/ddc            192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro,no_root_squash)
/usr                    192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro,no_root_squash)
/opt                    192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro,no_root_squash)

for the 'no_root_squash' option look at man exports

regards
Philipp
