Hi, Brett.  You're correct about the naming convention.  I didn't
mention that we have symbolic links set up to point to the "netboot"
file I mentioned in the original message.  For instance:

[root@ucd-host pxelinux.cfg]# ls -l default
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Jul 13 16:46 default ->
netboot-ks.SL.3.0.1

Thanks.
