Syslinux - Nov 2010 - PXELINUX: Menu + Machine dependent default kernels?

Hello,

up to now I have been using plain pxelinux with symbolic links (IP or
MAC-Address) to the machine dependent defaults.

This has been working fine with minimal differences in the configuration
files:

--default-lenny--
DEFAULT lenny

INCLUDE pxelinux.cfg/include-options
INCLUDE pxelinux.cfg/include-kernels
-----------------

--default-squeeze--
DEFAULT squeeze

INCLUDE pxelinux.cfg/include-options
INCLUDE pxelinux.cfg/include-kernels
-----------------

Now when trying to enable the simple menu system this does not seem to be
that easy anymore as the "menu default" option has to be specified
inside
the option block of the desired kernel in this case.

Any hint other than generating all these default configuration files from
meta configuration files with a shellscript?

You can continue to use DEFAULT instead of MENU DEFAULT, if you use UI
to load (vesa)menu.c32.

Huh? If I understood this correctly DEFAULT has to be (vesa)menu.c32
otherwise the menu is not used at all.
