Reed, why don't you want to use DHCP? It is a superset of BOOTP, in other words, DHCP does everything BOOTP does and then some. In your position, I would install dhcp on the RedHat box, copy the bootptab data into /etc/dhcpd.conf, start dhcpd and stop bootp, and confirm that my existing machines can still boot. Once this is done, I would continue with a standard LTSP install. The current LTSP boot scripts depend on DHCP. You could re-write them to work with BOOTP, but converting your existing bootp server to dhcp is relatively painless, is much less work, and doesn't require you to re-write your bootscripts every time you upgrade your LTSP. -- David Johnston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
