Scott, you are almost right about the path for the thin client 'stuff'.
It doesn't get updated automatically with the server side, unless you
delete and recreate it every time there is an update to the ltsp client
build.
I think you should do this to update it, based on https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuLTSPUpgradeNotes
; all these steps are done on the LTSP server:
# Copy the apt sources list into the thin client chroot
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/apt/
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get update
# It is suggested at http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Edgy/HOWTO:_Install_MueKow_on_Ubuntu
that you do this next:
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ mount -t proc proc /proc
# In any case, the next step is:
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get upgrade
# If you want to upgrade the thin client kernel do
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo ltsp-update-kernels
However, I follow the maxim 'if it
ain9;t broke, don't fix it' as far as thin clients are concerned. If you
do try it, take a copy of /opt/ltsp/i386 first.
I hope this helps!

I9;ve heard people talk about a need to update the part of the system that the thin clients boot from. Is this what is stored in
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/?
Does this get updated automatically during regular updates or is there a special process to update it? If so, when does it need updating?

Please ignore this, it was sent from the wrong address, repeated from the right one ages ago, and entered the moderator queue. It's obsolete now.
