[LUG] tftp question (long)

[dave morgan <morgad@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many thanks to all for a fascinating meeting last night.

I am trying http for the first time to netboot the Debian installer
for the new webserver.

I have been attempting to follow the recipe at
http://roland.entierement.nu/index.php/archives/2005/02/16/debian-on-soekris-howto

the 4801 boots, gets its network info by dhcp, but tftp fails ..
