[K12OSN] K12LTSP FC5 server + Edubuntu 6.06.1 LTS server = No boot

[Jim Kronebusch]

My guess is that the Edubuntu server is based off of the project Muekow LTSP
implementation and that the FC5 server is based off the old fashioned LTSP
methods.  I'll bet that the boot process for the two is different and that is
why a single dhcp server is not working for both.  I am not familiar the
particulars of each method, but I think this would be a good place to start.
