there needs to be a server setup to share what will be the systems root. For ltsp useage, this needs to be /tftproot/lts/ltsroot *.example.com(ro,no_root_squash) If you plan on using the ability of lts1.9 to mount nfs shares for "local" access, you will need to share a /bin, /sbin, /usr, /home. You can theoretically just share the ones off the pxe server, but I usally prefer to setup a tree specifically for exporting.
