[PATCH] Add support for DHCP-Options

Ferenc,

Could you add chaddr to the options?

It looks very similar to an SNAME field but is unsigned.

If it were hex colon delimited it would be perfect for anaconda and
autoyast.

I'm attempting to add it myself, but git is gittin in the way.. I've a
lot to learn.

Thanks

Ferenc,

Never mind. I didn't even have to figure out Git.

It was far easier than I thought, your code was very extensible.

If there is any interest I'd be happy to publish a newbies guide to how
I did it.

Thanks

I'm not sure how hpa feels about this, but maybe the syslinux wiki
would be a good place to host information about such unofficial
extensions. If he doesn't object, I suggest you write something up
there.

At the least I'd be happy to incorporate your additions into my git
branch if you send them along.

It would be a good place, indeed.
