That does not work. LTSP needs dhcp, if you must use bootp, you have to switch back to version 2.08. You can set up your own dhcp server that does only serve ips to your clients (based on mac address). I see no technical reason why this should not be allowed but bootp is allowed. bootp can interfere as well as dhcp with another dhcp server. You can make your client ignore the other dhcp server. This is described in a thread on [EMAIL PROTECTED] (see the message from Jason Bechtel from Thu, 11 Jul 2002 22:47:23 +0200 in the archives). Unfortunately these changes have not been incorporated into the standard LTSP packages, so yo'll need to tweak a bit.
