Tom, I did try and sort things out with your help below but things only started working when I removed the version of tftp-server from my RH8 installation (0.29) and replaced it with the version that came on the RH7.3 CD (0.28). I only thought to do this when I reinstalled 7.3 from scratch onto a new system and your walk-through worked perfectly. I'm not sure why 0.29 (from the CD and downloaded fresh from the RH ftp site) didn't work on the first 2 boxes but hey - LTSP all works fine now!
Thanks very much for your help James > James; > > Easy solution. The "tftp" service is controlled by the > xinetd daemon, which is controlled with the "chkconfig" > command.
