Since it complained here I created the dirs:

root@debian:/home/rkwesk# ltsp-config nbd-server
Created /etc/nbd-server/conf.d/swap.conf
find: `/opt/ltsp/images/': No such file or directory
  nbd-server.
root@debian:/home/rkwesk# ls /opt/
root@debian:/home/rkwesk# mkdir /opt/ltsp
root@debian:/home/rkwesk# mkdir /opt/ltsp/images
root@debian:/home/rkwesk# ltsp-config nbd-server

This problem I haven't solved:

root@debian:/home/rkwesk# ltsp-update-image --cleanup /
FATAL: Module overlayfs not found.
ssh-keygen: generating new host keys: RSA1 RSA DSA ECDSA

I appreciate your help. I didn't know how to deal with nbd in place of  
nfs. Now that's sorted. So to the remaining issue:

root@debian:/home/rkwesk# uname -a
Linux debian 3.2.0-4-486 #1 Debian 3.2.39-2 i686 GNU/Linux

The client loads the kernel but stops with the same complaint re  
overlayfs module
