The first part is bringing dhcp support into the system, perhaps using the NetBSD version as a starting point (though their makefiles are a little different, having the ability to mix the subdir and port/lib includes the way they do - envy :). Then the dhcp client libraries will intrinsically be available to things like sysinstall, which could use it to support dhcp configuration of all the IP values during installation. :) Then you add all the rc glue to use it and voila, you're done! When can you start? :-) Jordan
