Jim, After answering the bit below the ============ I have done some more checking because I am still having problems and cannot load the kernel. I uninstalled tftp server and removed the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file and then reinstalled the server. To be sure I had fully reset everything I rebboted the server PC.
If I start Mandrake Control Center up and look at system/services I see that tftp is set to start on boot but that it is stopped. If I click on the start button it says "Unrecognised service." If I try to start the server by issuing /usr/sbin/in-tftpd -s /tftpboot/lts & then tail -f /var/log/messages gives the following output Apr 5 18:57:31 norman3 in.tftpd[1462]: recvfrom: Socket operation on non-socket and booting the client machine gives the following Apr 5 18:58:24 norman3 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:10:a7:10:d4:79 via eth0 Apr 5 18:58:24 norman3 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.4 to 00:10:a7:10:d4:79 via eth0 Apr 5 18:58:32 norman3 dhcpd: if IN A doesn't exist add 10800 IN A 192.168.1.4: resolver failed.
