Assuming that his current DHCP server is configurable. Lots of people have used windows DHCP server to serve up LTSP terminals. You just need to know how to make that dhcp server provide things like 'root-path', 'filename' and 'next-server'. If he's running dhcp on something like a linksys or d-link router, then he's probably out of luck. Those have very limited configuration. If he's serving DHCP from another Linux or BSD box, then it shouldn't be any problem at all. Just set root-path to point to the correct IP address of his LTSP server, and use 'next-server' to point to the LTSP server for TFTP.
