Life has been pretty good lately now that ddns is working
(sill wondering about #send host-name "andare.fugue.com"; but thats not really 
important.)

Then I booted a knoppix4.0.1 CD and instead of 'knoppix' being sent up the pipe 
as the host-name like v3.7 did, it is sending '(none)':

Mar 28 14:59:11 localhost dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:40:ca:30:eb:f2 via eth0
Mar 28 14:59:11 localhost dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.36 to 00:40:ca:30:eb:f2
via eth0
Mar 28 14:59:11 localhost dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:40:ca:30:eb:f2 via eth0
Mar 28 14:59:11 localhost dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.36 to 00:40:ca:30:eb:f2
((none)) via eth0
Mar 28 14:59:11 localhost dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.1.36 (192.168.1.7) from
  00:40:ca:30:eb:f2 ((none)) via eth0
Mar 28 14:59:11 localhost dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.1.36 to 00:40:ca:30:eb:f2 ((
none)) via eth0

I am guessing I want to do something like
host knoppix{
   host-name (none) ;
   option host-name "knoppix" ;
   fixed-address 192.168.1.3 ; }

or option host-name=concat("knoppix", binary-to-ascii(10, 8, "-", 
suffix(leased-address,1) ) ) ; so that when I boot up 2 each gets it's own.

Only that didn't work.  Guessing the ()'s need to be escaped or something.

Other than 'file a bug report and wait for koppix++' any advice?
