It's difficult to answer this question without knowing what you're
booting, and what parameters it expects, where but assuming the
root-path value eventually ends up in the command=line of a Linux kernel
changing
> dhcp-option=17,"/opt/ltsp/ubuntu_6.10_i386/"
into somthing like
dhcp-option=17,"192.168.57.252:/opt/ltsp/ubuntu_6.10_i386/"
might work.
Cheers,
Simon.
