The NetworkSetup page describes booting your clients in a different way, 
where it gets the operating system netboot from the server.  These thin 
clients boot Fedora and login to the server via ldm.  The old K12LTSP 
used XDMCP instead of ldm.

If you want to use it in the old way where it can boot from DetOS, it is 
probably using XDMCP.  You need to manually configure 
/etc/gdm/custom.conf to enable XDMCP.  This is outside the scope of 
K12Linux.  You actually don't need K12Linux at all to act as a XDMCP 
server.  Any ordinary Linux server can do it without K12Linux.
