using the defaults, yes. unsigned CDs will not work. although that is
also the case with the previous version, unless you pass particular
commandline options or ltsp-build-client plugins.

i just committed a simple fix to debian-edu-config svn to handle the
issue, although it would likely break with the version of
debian-edu-config currently in lenny.

i've been testing on 64MB thin clients, and haven't noticed much, if any
increase in ram requirements. i'd like to think i'd notice something
that consumed that much memory. :)
