Is also worth a read, It should allow you to speed up the download by
pointing it at any Ubuntu repository.... As for the Image Build this
does take ages and needs to be done when ever you update the thin
client image. which is a pain. But should be no worse than creating an
ISO.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP has a wealth of details.

If you think I more formal talk on LTSP at a future meet would be
good, I'm sure Dan and/or myself can come up with something. It builds
on the talk we had before on network booting mind you.....
