21  * pxemenu has been updated. See:
22     - INSTALL-pxemenu
23     - README-pxemenu
24     - Updates for SYSLINUX version 4.02.
25     - Some obsolete menus (UBC,Ghost) have been removed. 
26    Author: Ole Holm Nielsen
27
28  * Added support for hosts that only can use mac address for
29    pxelinux configuration.  This is used in environments
30    where dynamic ip's are used. To enable this you must set in
31    pxeconfig.conf:
32        [DEFAULT]
33        arp_command        : /usr/sbin/arp -n
34
35
36    You can use host labels as shortcuts.  Edit pxelinux.conf and add
37    for eg:
38        [bas]
39        mac_address: 00:19:b9:de:21:47
40
41    Now you can use:
42        'pxeconfig bas' instead of 'pxeconfig 00:19:b9:de:21:47'
43
44    You can mix hostnames and mac-addresses on the command line

64  * Added client/daemon hook script code. Two new options
65    for the pxeconfig.conf file
66   - daemon_script_hook
67   - client_script_hook
68
69    We use these scripts to open (client_script_hook) and close
70    (daemon_script_hook) ports on the firewall. So not everybody can do
71    an rsync or use a bittorrent client to get useful info.
