That would mean different pxelinux.cfg stuff for different hosts.

Ok, that gave me the idea. Of course I can do sth. like
"case $HOSTNAME in a|b|c) echo blabla"
in the custom script. reaching the same effect as your script, but by
listing the hostnames in the script/profile instead of a case distinction
on the kernel command line (that would be much more difficult in our setup).

Thanks for the hint!

Frank
