LTSP-Build-Client –Arch option not in –Help

To find the options for a command you type:

command --help

It spits out a bunch of options that you can use to tweak the parameters of a command. On the --help for the ltsp-build-client script is the --dist option, which I thought can be used to install a different distribution that the one you are current using on the host. For instance:

sudo lts-build-client --dist lenny

There is another option, and it is not specified in the --help. The --arch option allows the specification of different architecture than your hos. For instance:

sudo ltsp-build-client --arch -i386

If you are using a 64 bit host, you can install an i386 client file system with this.
