Thanks for all your responses guys, I had gotten LTSP to work right after I sent the message. The problem was that the ubuntu ftp server chroots everything to /var/lib/tftpboot/ (and I knew that), either I wasnt reading the ubuntuLTSP wiki or it was not clear on that you dont need to add /var/lib/tftpboot/ to the beginning of the kernel image line So that was the one thing that did it. oddly enough though on a warty install it worked even with the /var/lib/tftpdboot added in strange. but all is good and I have 3 slim PII IBM desktops connected to a P4 Dell with 512 ram working very nicely. (im at home right now or else I would give more specs.) I will probably post my dhcpd.conf file for anyone who is interested. thanks again for all your help.

Despite the initial teething difficulties, everything is now working fine. Going from memory here - and referencing the LTSP HowTo on Ubuntu at: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSPHowTo?highlight=%28ltsp%29">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSPHowTo?highlight=%28ltsp%29</a> it seems that your path to tftp may be wrong. Try the following commands to move the LTSP tftp files to the Ubuntu tftp location: sudo mv /tftpboot/lts /var/lib/tftpboot/ sudo rmdir /tftpboot Hope that helps. -- NigelBurman -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com"> ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
