Jim, I looked the suggested dhcpd.conf file, made a mix of it and mine and=
=20
things started to work.
The other problem was that the tftpd xinetd config file was chroot to anoth=
er=20
directory than the standard /tftpboot or / . After correcting this issue to=
o,=20
I have an VMware machine, a K6II box and a Pentium1 200MHz MMX box all=20
working perfectly!!!

 With a 100Mb/s NIC there is no significative performance difference betwee=
n=20
the local console and a ltsp machine for common applications (email, spread=
=20
sheets etc), even for the P1 box.

Thank you very much.
