Why is it assumed ISC's is the one to go with? Since we have committers with close relations to WIDE, we could see if they would be willing to look at makeing their client so it doens't require bpf. IF we want to add DHCP to the boot floppy, the WIDE client is certainly smaller. I use DHCP for my net connection every day for over a year, and the WIDE client has performed very, very well for me. ``dhcpc fxp0'' Is all I do and all I need is /usr/local/sbin/dhcpc. With the ISC client there is a VERY extensive config file needed. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.ucdavis.edu -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org)
