Local PNM File Retrieval Setup (Config Menu)

This example shows how to configure local PNM file retrieval using the interactive config-menu helper. The local.src_dir setting must point to the directory where PNM files are written and where PyPNM should look for them (for example, your TFTP root such as /srv/tftp).
