I'm using the "Setting Up a PXE Server" in Appendix B. of the FC7 Installation guide: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f7/en_US/ap-pxe-server.html

I've never done this before and can't figure out why I keep getting the message: "TFTP Open Timeout"... The computer being installed to appears to be getting an IP from the dhcpd server but I guess something's wrong with the tftp server .... I followed the instructions above exactly but the laptop I'm installing to apparently isn't getting a response back from the tftp server after it gets the IP address.
