I thought that DHCPOFFER meant that the server was offering 253 to be the ip
for the client.  In my dhcpd.conf,
I changed the range ending from 253 to 199 and now the messages file shows

Dec 13 09:16:39 server dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:40:f4:e8:e9:24 via eth0
Dec 13 09:16:40 server dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.0.199 to
00:40:f4:e8:e9:24 via eth0

The MAC address is the one for my client.

I also added a next-server 192.168.0.254; to dhcpd.conf as per some stuff I
found about Siaddr field at wiki.ltsp.org
Otherwise my dhcpd.conf is the default for K12LTSP version 4.4.1
I have attached my current dhcpd.conf
As far as I understand, it accords with several examples I see at
wiki.ltsp.org

So network boot is happening only the dhcpd server "254" is telling
