Thanks!

For what it is worth, I would be glad to be a test subject for any changes you make before the next release.  Too bad I can't send you one of my "fussy" PXE clients for testing.

Sure, you can apply this patch on top of the latest release: http://patches.tinycorelinux.net/uploaded/0001_Remove_option_bootfile.patch
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

I've created a bug report here regarding a part of the issues in this thread.

Hi curaga - Thanks for the patch.  I would be glad to try it but I am afraid I am something of a newbie to the linux world and have never had to apply a patch.  I have searched the forum and googled but have not found the information I need in order to apply said patch.  If the answer isn't too involved for this venu would you (or anyone else that has time and interest) point me in the right direction to do this?  I have patched CP/M and related programs (in hexadecimal) running on S100 bus systems dating back to the days of the pioneers so I am not completely new to computers, just to linux.

Hi gmc
Though I've never used it myself, but there is a patch program available used to apply patches. This one looks pretty
straight forward, find:
Code: [Select]
option lease 864000 # 10 days of seconds
option tftp $MYIP
siaddr $MYIP
option bootfile /pxelinux.0" > /netboot/udhcpd.conf
in the  tc-terminal-server  script. Replace:
Code: [Select]
option bootfile /pxelinux.0" > /netboot/udhcpd.confwith:
Code: [Select]
" > /netboot/udhcpd.conf

Running 4.7.6, with the patch downloaded to /tmp:

cd /
sudo patch -Np1 -i /tmp/0001_Remove_option_bootfile.patch

curaga - the patch worked fine.  Thanks for the how-to, and the patch.  I'll be watching for 4.7.7...
