Though my diskless setup doesn't work yet (the problem is the dhcp server
which does not start as expected), I found that setting up an image for a
diskless client with the Mythbuntu Control Center was easy and straightforward.
There is some kind of wizard that will install the needed package both for
the image server and the client-images, which you can "customize" if I
remember well.
I guess that the created client-image would work if I could sort out the
dhcpd problem (but I am planning to move my backend to newer hardware soon,
so I don't have time to sort this out now).
