It is working installing RHL 9 here.  This is per my outline 
at:
   http://www.owlriver.com/tips/pxe-install/
the tftp/dhcp/ftp/http server is a really 'put-upon' unit 
which started as a fresh RHL 8 install but is no longer really 
recognizable as such.

Intel ee-pro/100S NIC's; some junky motherboard with network
boot in the bios [the cheapest one my client could find, for a
lot of seats - total seat cost was about $225 WITH case, MB,
128M ram, Intel NIC, kbd, mouse, mousepad, and a 1024x768
capable monitor] -- these units are doing LTSP work in
production, but I throw a junk hard drive in for my install 
bench testing.

-- Russ Herrold

{feel free to disregard the balance of the message, unless you 
are interested in the traces from the install.}
