Hi Chuck, A couple of questions: 1) Do I need option 12, the netvista option, if I am not using netvistas? Is this a generic netboot parameter? 2) If windows pads the root path with 000 do I need a symlink on my linux server from a directory called /opt/ltsp/i386000 > /opt/ltsp/i386 3) is the string for option 211 always tftp? 4) I glibly said I had the other boot parameters (ip, subnet mask, gateway) correctly set, because those parameters are the defaults handed over by the dhcp server on that scope. As I think about it I think I should be using an ip, subnet mask, and gateway consistent with that of the ltsp server (which sits on a different subnet than my test client. So if my LTSP server is <a href="http://10.114.0.105/16">10.114.0.105/16</a> my clients should be 10.114.0.x/16 and use <a href="http://10.114.0.105">10.114.0.105</a> as the gateway. Err, but perhaps I am getting myself in a muddle here. Thanks again.
