Release: ltsp-5.1.21 for Fedora 9

[Nadav Kavalerchik]

that is great news :-)

i used NBD swap for long time now (with ltsp 4.2) what are the benifits of
useing NFS with latest LTSP 5.1.21 ?

before you make a new LIve Images...
1. you recommended 900MB for persistent storage and the cd-creator can only
create as much as 256. (https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator)
2. booting the live USB did not find persistent storage and did not save my
changes.
3. all the command line tools you used in the README files are not in the
PATH of the live image and for some one that is not familiar with their
locations it would (probably) be deficult to find. (although
'whereis'/'which' works)
