I'm tring to setup a network boot [...] and am having a problem. I
have a linksys cable/router on my system which provides DHCP services

machine (Fedora Core 2) to provide DHCP services for the computer I'd
like to net boot.
You can't do that on the same network segment unless the two DHCP servers
cooperate. HOWEVER, you should be able to get your FC2 box to provide
reverse arp and tftp services before DHCP gets called. Can you get your
net boot machine to use BOOTP instead of DHCP? Or alternatively, can you
put it on a different routed network so that it can't see LAN broadcasts
from the Linksys? Or alternatively, can you disable the Linksys DHCP
and use your FC2 box to provide all DHCP service.
