David,
A few minutes after I replied about the TFTP security thing,
it hit me that you didn't update tftp, only the kernel.

I'm looking forward to hearing what you find out with Ethereal.
Thanks,
Jim.

I suspect that is part of a security measure.
Because TFTP is udp based, and that is "connectionless", my guess
is that tftpd is doing a DNS lookup for every single block that
the client requests.
If you ran Ethereal on that network segment, you'd be able to see
what is happening.

I tried updating a server to the latest Redhat kernel yesterday, with
very poor results. Loading the LTSP kernel on a workstation usually
takes a second or two; with the latest kernel on the server, it took
three minutes, plus another fifteen to finish booting. I tried it
twice, then backed the
