I also copied over /var/lib/tftpboot/debian-edu/default-diskless.cfg which didn't exist on tjener either. It isn't as above, but like this after making the change: DEFAULT ltsp/i386/vmlinuz initrd=ltsp/i386/initrd.img nfsroot=10.0.2.10:/opt/ltsp/i386 boot=nfs ro quiet 3 IP has to be used for the server. Then I changed the symlink in /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg on tjener to point to the above file. It works! Should I put this on the wiki, or is this not a normal scenario? Thanks very much. nigel
