#
# Obscure options you probably don't need to touch:
#
+# -DZPXE_SUFFIX_STRIP
+# If the last 5 characters of the filename passed to Etherboot is
+# ".zpxe" then strip it off. This is useful in cases where a DHCP server
+# is not able to be configured to support conditionals. The way it works
+# is that the DHCP server is configured with a filename like
+# "foo.nbi.zpxe" so that when PXE asks for a filename it gets that, and
+# loads Etherboot from that file. Etherboot then starts up and once
+# again asks the DHCP server for a filename and once again gets
+# foo.nbi.zpxe, but with this option turned on loads "foo.nbi" instead.
+# This allows people to use Etherboot who might not otherwise be able to
+# because their DHCP servers won't let them.
+#
# -DPOWERSAVE
# Halt the processor when waiting for keyboard input
# which saves power while waiting for user interaction.
