There are several options
1. I believe the Debian installation process can be persuaded to install
onto an NFS root with a little work.
2. IIRC Debian has some pre-rolled pacakges which set up suitable root
filesystems.
3. SLXT is designed to do this for you
http://www.pucebaboon.com/SLXT/
4. Trial and error - add things to the root image until it works how you
want.
Check the Filesystem standard (via http://www.debian.org/devel/) for
which parts of the filesystem you can share between clients.
