Unfortunately, the pump that comes with Mandrake 7.2 doesn't
have that option, and trying to get the latest version leads to
Dependency Hell. Using dhclient works, though.

I had to create a conf file to specify the cxNAME. Is that the
only/best way?
  $ cat /etc/dhclient.conf
  interface "eth0" {
      send host-name "cx36001-a";
  }

Thanks for your help.

I'm really thinking of moving that box to potato...
