Actually the 1st mechanism provides way more flexibility, both loading from
grub (which is what i had exposed time ago) and from pxe. I am still using
2.4 in my of setups.
Would it be possible with the next update (which will be sooner or later
due to new nic drivers continously coming out) to revert to the
one-file-does-all original logic?
Another really great feature would be the presence of ifconfig/dhclient to
change setups on the fly when something goes wrong with dhcp server.
Thanks for making beautiful G4U!
