Fine.

That means of course boot cannot work, and it's not the fault of ltsp
but your tftp-server :-)

No need as long as tftp does not work.

You could make "user=nobody" instead of "user=tftp". What happens then?

Etherboot cannot find file and retries.... Try to copy *something* to
/tftpbooot/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-lts-1 (at best a working netboot image
from ltsp of course) and reboot the client.

Please post your dhcpd.conf.
