Having the Client IP avaible inside grub.cfg might be useful for some. Then you could have one grub.cfg for all your machines and if one or a small number of it needs some special stuff, you could just check for the IP inside the grub.cfg. Then you don't need to use a seperate one for them. But maybe this isn't that useful if option-150 gets implemented which Yoann requested. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
