Is this a typo, or did you move it? Jim's standard location is
/tftpboot/lts.

You're using a external DNS, which is fine except that it won't know
about your workstations. You might consider running a local DNS.

Does NIS need for the workstations to be listed in the DNS?

Norm,
after you check /etc/xinetd.d/tftp for typos, try this:
$ cd /tmp (or anywhere else not in /tftpboot)
$ tftp
tftp> connect 192.168.1.1
tftp> get vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-6
You should get "Received xxxx bytes" or a useful error (file not found,
access denied, etc).
Consider added "only_from = 192.168.1.0" to /etc/xinetd.d/tftp; it will
tell xinetd to drop unauthorized connections rather than starting
tftpd. This means that an outside hacker can't exploit a potential
security flaw in tftpd.
