Hi,
Here are 2 patches. They remove a conflict between pxelinux and
systemimager over use of option code 208.
This code is deprecated in favor of option code 142 in any relatively
recent version of systemimager, and (according to the comments), only
preserved for interoperatility with older code that might still be
hanging around.
pxelinux needs this option. It tells pxelinux to pay attention to all
other options being passed to it through dhcp. So, for instance, if you
want to pass a particular pxelinux config file for a specific server,
you need this.
These applied cleanly to the trunk that I pulled down today (Nov 22, 2006).
Cheers,
Justin Thiessen
