Hello all,
First of all, good luck on your exhibits on the upcoming LinuxWorld! :)
Anyway, it has been years when my last PXE based LTSP-3 booting setup
until now that I'll be converting our 6 units of Compaq Deskpro to thin
clients and our terminal server will be running on Mandrake Linux 10.1
Official and LTSP-4.1. Our 6 units of Compaq Deskpro have the following
hardware specs:
- Intel Celeron 500Mhz
- 32Mb RAM
- PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard
- On-board Intel VGA
- On-board Intel NIC with PXE
My problem is actually on the DHCP stage because the workstation seems
not replying to the DHCP offer given by the server.

Anybody can help me here with PXE based NIC?
Thanks in advance.
