describe how to get back to Squeeze behaviour

  
  A diskless workstation runs all software locally. The client machines boot directly from the LTSP server without a local hard drive. Software is administered and maintained on the LTSP server, but it runs on the diskless workstation. Home directories and system settings are stored on the server too. Diskless workstations are an excellent way of reusing newer hardware with the same low maintenance cost as with thin clients. 
  
- LTSP defines 320MB as the default minimum amount of RAM for diskless workstations. If the amount of RAM is less, the machine will boot as thin client. Unlike workstations, diskless workstations run without any need to add them with GOsa², cause LDM is used to login and connect to the LTSP server.

+  * Add {{{DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER=/path/to/dm}}} to lts.conf (or set this in LDAP). Make sure, that the display manager is installed in the LTSP chroot.
+  * Add the diskless workstations to LDAP with GOsa².
