well, that I had done, in /etc/dhcpd.conf. I htin the issue probably
had to do with routing & could have been fixed with iptables, b ut the
various internet sources I had pointed me in directions that led
nowhere. ANyway I fixed my immediate need by modifying pxeboot files
so I could do thi initial install without the internet; then went
back and upgraded after that. So all's well, but I wish I'd figured
it out. thanks to everyone,
matt

You can ignore the part of patch the kernel,
ebtables and firewall if
you only want to route the traffic.
Kind Regards
