The default tftp server is the dhcp server itself. If you want to use a different tftp server you can use the "next-server" directive in your dhcp.conf (see the man page for dhcp.conf for more details). I don't know how to configure Grub to use another tftp server, but I guess it is possible. Best regards, Rasmus -- Rasmus Borup Hansen, system adm.

Hi Rasmus, Thank you for the advice. I'm almost there now. Question: how does the system tell from the menu.lst where the tftp server is? Does it automatically find it or is that specified by the DHCP server? Cheers, Amanda

/etc/inetd.conf. I've also edited boot/grub/menu.lst on the floppy to look like the following:
color white/blue black/light-gray default 0 timeout 8 framebuffer 1
title autoinstall-bootp bootp root (nd) kernel (nd)/tftpboot/linux install=nfs://130.225.103.33/dist/suse/8.1 autoyast=nfs://130.225.103.33/dist/suse/control-files/ vga=791 initrd (nd)/tftpboot/initrd
I have the 8.1-tree on the NFS-server 130.225.103.22 in the directory
Oh, that's 130.225.103.33. The other one is my DHCP-server. I presume you get the idea anyway.
Best regards,
Rasmus
