Re: does grub2 support proxy dhcp?

[Thomas Frauendorfer]

Hi Olaf,

Current Grub does not handle proxy DHCP correctly.
There is a patch to add support for proxy DHCP in the mailing list
archives, but it was never merged.
I did some adjustments to make it apply to 2.04 for work which I could
share if you are interested.
