So for example, if you want to figure out the PXE config file name for a workstation named "nitschke", you'd say, "gethostip nitschke". Sample output:<br>
<br>
# gethostip nitschke<br>
<a href="http://nitschke.example.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">nitschke.example.com</a> 192.168.0.66 C0A80042<br>
I know fai-chboot also determines the pxelinux.cfg file name but I would imagine that others do what I do -- once you get one working config file, copy it for the other machines you want to do installs on.<br>
