Thanks for the answer, I tried it. It's almost ok, the only thing I need is a 
way for the client to tell its hostname to the DHCP server, so that FAI reads 
the correct file in the "class" dir. I imagine there is some kind of 
"hostname" option to pass to the kernel, but I can't find it. Any idea?
