Don't worry about nvram.mig. This file is generated by the original Netwo=
rk=20
Station Manager (NSM) supplied by IBM. It's purpose is to change BIOS=20
settings such as the language or the BIOS password. If you don't use NSM,=
=20
there is no way of generating this file, so, don't mind.

I remember DHCP turbo was very simple. Much more than Win2003 DHCP=20
administration. Try to define a subnet and create some IP addresses there=
=2E=20
For each one, specify the same extra configuration options as I wrote at =
the=20
website for Windows 2003.

If you have any particular question about DHCP Turbo, tell me. If I've ti=
me=20
enough, I will install it and write a tutorial.

It will be in spanish. But don't worry. Its very simple to change te lang=
uage=20
in Linux. We've made a particular configuration for a school that ask us=20
about, that let the users choose between english and spanish at startup (=
just=20
to learn english).

I think copying or untarring by NFS is the only way to get the file=20
permissions properly set up.

See you.
