Bug#776670: Questionable dhcpd configuration options



Package: di-netboot-assistant
Version: 0.38a
Severity: minor

I don't think all the options under pxelinux.* are necessary at all
(cf. README file). It works fine without them.

Specifically, the line

  option pxelinux.configfile "debian-installer/pxelinux.cfg/default";

causes a request to
  "debian-installer/debian-installer/pxelinux.cfg/default"

which obviously does not exist — the config file is looked up
relative to pxelinux.0 it seems.

That option disables the ability to override the configuration
per-client based on UUID or IP and so it's doubtful whether there is
a benefit in using it anyway.

My suggestion: remove all the options. dhcpd (v4 here) works fine
with just next-server and filename.
