When you say 2nd DHCP address, does that mean you have two network cards in

Would Asmo, or anybody out there who has sucessfully upgraded to Lucid please
post your /etc/default/tftpd-hpa to the list? I'm stuck on the tftp part of
this. I have LTSP 5 and 4.2 installed to run side by side, and I can't even
get tftp to work on the LTSP 4.2 clients, much less the LTSP 5.
Oh, and I'm trying to upgrade from Hardy to Lucid. Maybe there's a difference
between Hardy's and Karmic's tftpd-hpa files? In any case, a working tftpd-hpa
file would be greatly appreciated. I'm about ready to just rebuild the server
from scratch... but I'd rather not have to do that.

Hey, I like that better! Thank you!
What did you mean by linux16 is needed for grub2, though? We're still using
grub (1), so it's not critical, but for future reference... I don't see a
package called linux16, so is that a grub entry? If so, how would we put
that in the menu.lst file?
