[TriLUG] mandrake pxe set up

[Timothy A. Chagnon]

Sorry for the late post.  I probably could have answered your question
when you were still using Suse, but I was away over the weekend.

Most likely cause is the need for the following two lines at the top of
your dhcpd.conf:

allow booting;
allow bootp;

Which is probably what that checkbox does.
