DHCP installs will die a horrible death upon initial startup without it. Just becuase you don't use DHCP doesn't mean that hundreds, if not thousands, of other sites do not. Can we end this discussion now? It was literally discussed to death some months ago, before this change even went in, and if you weren't present for those discussions then you simply have only yourself to blame because our lists are all public access. There's no profit in discussing it further and I'll be deleting any more mails in this thread unread. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
