[K12OSN] dhcpd and tftp

[Rob Owens]

I'll try swapping the NIC tonight.  My only other
option for a dhcp server is my Linksys router.  I'm
not sure how I would go about allowing it to serve IP
addresses while still allowing my dhcpd to provide
proper information regarding root-path and such.  If
somebody tells me how to do it, I'll give it a try.

The thing is, with this exact same equipment I
installed K12LTSP 4.0.1 about a year ago.  It worked,
but it was only a test so I removed it when I needed
more /home space for my main system.  When I recently
tried to install 4.2.0 on a small partition on my hard
drive, I got a scary message saying something to the
effect of "mandrake botched your partition table and
we can't read it.  You will lose all data if you
install now."  Well, it wasn't that specific, but that
was the implication and it did say I would lose all
data on the drive.
