Wow!  Thanks.  That should be invaluable.  

Just two questions reading it over: 

1. in ltsp-build-client which user is referred to with "your-user-id-here:your-password-here"  Is that the user which will be running mythfrontend or something else?

2. what did you mean by "run nvidia-driver"?  is that the compile of the module?  if so, isn't that done on boot?  Is DKMS still used?

Thanks again.

David.
