Dave - when you install RHEL, did you choose 'workstation' or 'server' install, or do such thing exist with RHEL?
I believe if you choose 'workstation' install for Fedora Core 2, then tftp-server won't be installed by default, therefore this becomes a non-issue. I believe 'workstation' is the recommended installation flavour for RH9 and FC2...
