A small additional change is needed to make this work with netboot (using pxe). Problem was that we now have two moments where we look for the config file: - pxe looks in pxelinux.cfg/ when things first get loaded - syslinux looks in boot-screens when the user types menu I fixed it by using a syslink. I could alternatively have fixed it by specifying the correct path in prompt.cfg, but IMO that would have made things much more complex. This change should still be compatible with any existing setups.
