You will see "patterns" if you have opensuse-edu addon DVD or online
repository added.

Advanced setup of DNS and DHCP cannot be kept in default live DVD as
it is meant for admins to get LTSP running with the minimum experience
in doing complex setup, however you can install yast2-dhcp and dns
modules via yast, "chattr -i /etc/dhcpd.conf" so kiwi-ltsp-setup does
not overwrite your changes.
