Yes and I took the default two nic setup.

No I did not check dhcp and nfs status at initial server start. I will reinstall tonight and then check these.

Yeah it is working kinda sort, but I still can not get the maestro3 modules to load at TC boot. Dell C600 remember? Still does not work!

This is why I did a completely fresh install to see if I messed something up the first time I installed K12LTSP 5EL (Centos 5). I am 
very new to the thin-client server/client environment, but like the cleanness and quickness of K12LTSP 5EL (Centos 5) over K12Linux 
so would like to baseline that distribution for my testbed.

Again though, I will do another fresh install of K12LTSP 5EL (Centos 5) tonight and check initial server state.
