I'm trying to use menu.c32 to boot different kickstart files.
The problem I have is regardless of what menu item I select, it always uses
the client.cfg (default entry) even if I select one of the others.
Any ideas.

Thanks,
Mike Jarka

Did you try it without special Characters like the < in the "LABEL" and "MENU
LABEL" sections? Looks to me like a Characterchoiceproblem...

LABEL statements should not contain spaces, in particular.
