It's installed in the client then coppied to the server. I wasn't aware
of this which lead to the rest of my confusion. I should have actually
looked at the package. My bad.

I was suggesting that perhaps the proper directory structure would put
pxelinux.0 and pxelinux.cfg in /var/lib/tftpboot. Then the ltsp pxe
config should be called ltsp and be put inside of pxelinux.cfg.
Everything else ltsp related should be put in an ltsp dir under
tftpboot in an arch specific directory. e.g. i386 kernel, img, and
initrd should all be in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386. Not really that
important, but I was just curious why the decision was made to put
everything in the ltsp dir. 

And no, none of this is a high priority (or even any priority, it's
done and we can all deal with it), it's just one of those tiny gripes.
I should probably add in that LTSP is a great project, and the progress
you guys are making is really incredible. It just felt to me while
installing everything that the choice of dir structures focused around
making ltsp standalone rather than integrating into existing networks.
The dir structure just felt strange to me, that's all.
