[syslinux] pxelinux -- boot more than one image?

[rbitter at cntnl.jnj.com]

The secret is in your config file. Open it with notepad and edit it.
Here is a part of mine :
(note : DISPLAY images/messages.txt causes a textfile to be displayed on
your screen.
This textfile in my case shows all possible options like 1=dos,2=dos5,3=dos6
etc )

Good luck,

gestart...
# prompt 1 betekent AAN en heeft niets te maken met optie 1...

little computer that loads a linux image off the network, but I want to add
a different computer to boot off the network, for a different purpose. Is it
possible for the server to provide one image to a certain computer, and
another image to a second computer? 

    Yes.
