The way LTSP-5 is organized is entirely different from the old LTSP. 
Previous LTSP built an entire OS for the thin clients within the chroot. 
  LTSP-5 instead uses the base OS' packages to form that chroot.

Eric Harrison did some work Fedora-izing LTSP-5.  We should see what 
progress he made on this and figure out what other pieces need doing. 
Eric, could you fill us in on the status?

We need to get all the supporting pieces of LTSP into Fedora, and figure 
out exactly how the thin clients should be configured (initrd, X and 
other stuff) that is either Fedora compatible, or using LTSP-scripts 
bypassing it entirely.

Here is one key problem needing solving for Fedora to natively handle 
one aspect of LTSP-5.  There are many other pieces that need to be 
isolated, filed and worked on.
