I tried the update to 3.5.1 before the updates to ltspcfg and things still
didn't work correctly.  Like I said, I can boot a client, just slow to boot
and slow to run, server is smoking fast.  

I gave up for now on this and rsynced my K12 discs to ver5 beta and threw that
on yesterday.  Now FC5 won't recognize my GeForce4 MX440 video card, the FC2
version picked it up just fine.  I put a temporary machine in at home while I
finish pulling out my hair so my wife gets off my back :-)

Thanks for your help.
