Hi... I'm currently working in an academic environment, and we have, essentially, campus wide ethernet (the residences themselves are wired in). This morning, one of the students asked me about installing FreeBSD on his PC, using the FTP install, and had a slight problem... IPs on our network are fed by DHCP, so setting up his ethernet card to be on the network required my intervention in order for him to have a static IP temporarily, to perform the install. I haven't heard much talk about DHCP under FreeBSD, but has anyone thought about, or looked into, the possibility of using DHCP for both the install, and as part of the standard 'runtime'? Marc G.
