di-n-a can't guarantee which version of pxelinux.0 is installed...
therefore we try to be conservative.
I'll adopt this new scheme in squeeze+1.

As far as I can remember, the current scheme does not "include" config
file, but actually loads it (i.e the current options are reset).
Still, I like the "back" option... I'll try to investigate that (but
again, that's probably for squeeze+1)

good idea


I you believe that some of the suggestions are backward compatible with
lenny's pxelinux and you have some spare time... then patchs are
welcome ;)

Thank you for your report,
