Edubuntu in an existing network

[Clay Berlo]

This is a bit older (from my 6.06 server, not 6.10; the format changes a
bit for Edgy) but this is what works in our production environment.

The necessary DHCP options to set on a Windows-based DHCP server to
enable clients to find the server are:

017 (root path)
	/opt/ltsp/i386
066 (server address)
	x.x.x.x
067 (tftp file)
	ltsp/pxelinux.0

This can be set as part of a scope (if a separate VLAN has been put in
place for a group of computers) or as part of an individual reservation
for a known MAC address.

(Bit of a shorter read than the reference Gavin gave, but if you want
the full details, Gavin's link is excellent!)
