Good day Thierry,

Regarding the Windows XP RIS corrupt filename WINNT.SIF filename bug:

I've already explained the bug and think it would be good for you to try
out the latest PXELINUX.0 (compiled from the latest Syslinux in its
project git repository).  You can get pretty close by using the link I
sent before.

I personally think renaming startrom.n12 to pxelinux.0 is a bit silly;
PXELINUX should be able to chain to the real startrom.n12 from a
PXELINUX config-file or menuing system.  Employ pxechain.com, if need
be.  This still allows you to leave your DHCP configuration intact.

Don't know what else to offer you at this point.
