I have the case where I need to give detailed PXE booting parameters for
some LAN hosts identified primarily by their MAC address. The web GUI
doesn't allow this, so I hacked up the php code as below.
Is this the best way to go about it?
Can it be generalised sufficiently to include something like this in the
web interface?
Thanks,
Volker
