New operator islo (is lower)?
Hi,

I'm trying to show different boot options, based on the memory of the computer: PCs with less than 1GB will not be allowed to install some operating systems.

I know that it can be made by sending {memsize} to a web server PHP script, and returning the PXE script with the correct boot options. But we have lots of remote sites that use PXE and don't have a local web server in them, nor a good network access to our central servers. So I'm trying to put all the logic inside the PXE boot script.

I looked at the 'iseq' (is equal) command source code, and cloned it into a new command: 'islo' (is lower). It seems to work ok with positive numbers.

I think that it could be interesting to add this operator: with `iseq' and 'islo' you can express any integer comparison.

I copy the 'git diff' here:
