hi Clifford,

if you used the enhanced tftpd from incom before, did you rename the file
bpbatch.P to bpbatch (located in the servers /tftpboot directory)?
The timeout may be due to this.

BTW: The last days I set up 25 ltsp stations on boxes with the bootix
bootprom. Simply downloading a bpbatch-menu, which allows the choice
between linux (ltsp) and M$Win98. In the case of linux a custom kernel
with compiled in network driver gets loaded. Of course linux is getting
up faster, so we will see what choice our students will make for simply
surfin' the web ...
