Unfortunately, I'm using k12ltsp 3.1.2 which uses kernel 2.4.20 so I will have 
to compile the client kernel. I have compiled my kernel at home on slackware 
so I do have a little experience. I'm not using 4 because I need SMP to be 
stable.

Regarding using the schools dhcp server:

Note that options 67 and 17 need to be filled in regardless of which 
DHCP server you use. (a router or win server)
======================

After reading Terrell's and your comments I now understand that I am going to 
have to have to access and modify the school server or router. This is 
something I don't want to (or can't) do. I want k12ltsp to run without asking 
for tech support from my school. So I have decided to go the non-standard 
port solution. This should be invisible to the school network.
