Hi Gadi

I've changed the UDHCP client ID to "LTSP-i386" and the LTSP clients continued to work.

My concern with making the client ID a kernel parameter is that its very unlikely that anyone would think to have to add an ID to the kernel parameters in order to be able to boot their Ubuntu thin clients from a Windows DHCP server.

My guess is that unless this change is very well documented it will cause many hours of frustration for the unlucky people that happen have Windows DHCP servers.

Regards,
Robert
