I am glad to see some SOME version of the dhcp client included in base floppies. However, I must take exception to David's choice for any purpose other than single floppy situations. Although it is somewhat larger, the ISC dhcp2 client has significantly more flexability WRT options beyond the bare basics. I would recommend that the default client on HD based systems be the ISC client because of that flexability. Further, the assertion that it is easier to configure the WIDE client is WRONG. The ISC CLIENT requires NO configuration. I don't see how anything can be simpler. :-) Unfortunately, David persists in spreading this mis-information.
