I complained about it also.
It was 9.1 Beta3 before my DHCP would be properly configured without my
having to manually edit /etc/hosts and forget bout having a networked
printer auto detected with a DHCP host on a home LAN
Prior to 9.1 all I needed to have installed was dhcpd and network and
networked printers were a breeze but now if I want to set-up the network
during installation or even afterwards using drakconnect It Has to
install dhcp-client, dhcp-server and tmdns.
Hell, if nothing else, in the Advanced tab we should at least be given
the option of How we want to have the DHCP connection set-up.
