If there is a better way to deal with this I'm all for it, but this is why I 
suggested prompting for an IP range. If someone is already using a router for dhcp 
but the router doesn't support the more advanced options needed for pxe-boot ( like 
mine ), someone could run two dhcp servers on different IP ranges. There would be no 
address collisions and any machine that does a lan-boot can be directed to the 
correct dhcp server for pxe-booting.
