[mythtv-users] Diskless DHCPd

Hi,

I have a diskless frontend that is working 100%

I decided today to move my DHCP server to my Backup/Server off my DD-WRT
linksys router.

here is my dhcpd.conf file I wrote:
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.199;
  default-lease-time 86400;
  max-lease-time 86400;
  option routers 192.168.0.1;
  option ip-forwarding off;
  option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option ntp-servers 192.168.0.1;
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;

  #static leases
  host mythfe {
          hardware ethernet 00:13:D4:77:B9:61;
          fixed-address 192.168.0.203;
          }
  host maincomp {
          hardware ethernet 00:0C:76:5B:B9:E1;
          fixed-address 192.168.0.200;
          }

  #diskless boot config
  allow booting;
  allow bootp;
  class "pxeclients" {
     match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient";
     next-server 192.168.0.202;
     filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0";
  }
}

Now for DHCP this works great, the diskless box gets 203.  BUT when mythfe
starts it doesn't have the right hostname (defaults to localhost).
Therefore I lost all my settings in Mythfrontend.

So, how do i set the hostname to 'mythfe' when the box graps an IP.

Thanks,
Mitchell
