[K12OSN] DHCP Documentation

["Terrell Prudé Jr."]

OK, then time to make sure that all your daemons are running on your
TFTP server that's hosting the PXE boot files.  According to your
dhcpd.conf file, I believe that'd be 10.0.7.254 (the "next-server"
option).  Is that the case?  Also, I trust that the appropriate
directories/files are under the /tftpboot directory on that server? 
Mine, which runs K12LTSP 4.2EL (CentOS version), looks like this:

[microman at takhisis /]$ ls -alsF /tftpboot/lts/pxe
