I was going to suggest the 2 programs you mentioned above (as well as ltsp which seems to be the most ambitious effort), are you saying those won't do it? http://www.ltsp.org/ claims to be distro agnostic.
Just started the download again - failed at 95% and would not restart from there :) Don't need SUSE at all if it works ;)

I have run LTSP here and it is not a stand alone product. The image they provide is designed to have a thin client remote X into another machine. In my case, it's the same server that provides the boot kernel and nfs root, but it doesn't have to be.
Yep - that is what I am finding. The networks this is to go on are fairly loaded already, so I'm looking to get the browser on the slave and just update simple pages when necessary - since that already works :)
DHCP works fine, boot image loads and gives a simple network/local menu, but I keep getting "can't find boot server" when selecting the network image, which I thought was the same server that has just successfully downloaded the PXE boot image?
Does your DHCP config contain something like the following? |option root-path "192.168.0.254:/opt/ltsp/i386"; This points to an NFS share. NOTE: you have to use the number, not host name, here. There would be no DNS info at the time this is mounted.| -- Louis D. Richards LDR Interactive Technologies
