I've noticed that there is a Zeroconf service description for apt

It's come up from time to time and there are even a couple of partial
implementations. The key is to work on it and really get it integrated
into yum; we're not going to invent something that's used only for
anaconda

Right now, Anaconda sets vendor-class-identifier when it asks for an IP
address. All it needs to do is use the filename that DHCP can return.
vendor-class-identifier is for vendors such as Red Hat and the Fedora
Project. It has no implications for any other use. Here are needed
snippets in dhcpd.conf:
class "anaconda"
{
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0,
8) = "anaconda"
;
option vendor-class-identifier "anaconda";
}
pool {
allow members of "anaconda";
deny members of "pxeclients";
default-lease-time 900;
filename "http://Fedora.demo.lan/5/i386/os/Fedora/";;
max-lease-time 1800;
range 192.168.9.170 192.168.9.179;
option log-servers 192.168.9.4;
}
It shouldn't be more than a few lines of code.
