[K12OSN] New Installation

Ok, I got it to work using the Universal Boot_Rom. Thanks for the info. 

In my production environment, my server is a K12ltsp server running
Samba-LDAP courtesy of the script. This server has been working just fine
for that past year. I have about 800 client computer that will be out of
warranty at the end of this month. During my server installation I did not
include the LTSP server software. Can I install this without any problems or
configuration errors to my existing SAMBA-LDAP server?

Also in my network environment we have a Cisco switch that serves as our
gateway and DHCP server. Can I use K12LTSP without the DHCP functionality?

Thank you

Or try the Universal Boot Floppy at 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80408&package_id=97496
that will 
work with most PCI NICs, including RTK8139 based cards, and even some ISA
NICs.

which you need to boot from the local network.  If you do not have a boot
rom installed, try going to ROM-o-matic.net, http://www.rom-o-matic.net/,
where you can download disk images that will allow you to boot from the LTSP
server.
