Additional info... Attempted to add network configuration to dhclient.conf and rebuild client image. Client still boots to Busy Box. So apparently that's not the network configuration used by the client during the initial boot.
The client so far loads pxelinux.cfg/default, then loads vmlinuz, then initrd.img, says ready, then Loading, please wait and does another DHCP request. What file controls the network settings for this DHCP request by the client at this point in the boot process?

Hi All, I am attempting to setup an Edubuntu 8.04.1 LTSP test environment on our network that already contains a DNS server run by our parent company that we have no control over. The initial test client which is specified by MAC address in the dhcpd.conf file gets and IP address initially from the LTSP server, boots pxelinux, and then does another DHCP request this time taking a response from the corporate DHCP server which causes the client to not boot Edubuntu (boots to Busy Box). Based on man dhclient.conf, I can add commands to ignore the corporate DHCP server, but I'm assuming I'd have to rebuild the client image for the client to use this file. Is there a way to include the same configuration info in lts.conf? Thanks for your help on this.
