I did this very thing a few months ago. I've been wanting to contribute it back to PicoBSD, but it requires using pieces of the DHCP port and so there's no clean way to build it. I corresponded briefly with Andrzej back then and he said that he was setting up a framework that would make this easier. Unfortunately I've been pretty busy this month and haven't had time to see if that's happened yet. Anyway, it's pretty straightforward. I used the WIDE dhcp port, and built dhcpc statically linked. Then I modified the crunch Makefile to incorporate the dhcpc bits, and now I have dhcpc available on the floppy. I added the dhcpd server too and a small program so that you can have PicoBSD get an IP via dhcp on the external interface, and then offer private (10.0.0.x) IPs with the learned DNS server to the internal LAN hosts. It works really well, a handful of people are using it and no one's had any kind of problems. I'd be happy to help you out in any way to get this working. - Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
