So you are suggesting we no longer supporting FTP installs? Do you realise what impact that would have? I guess you haven't seen the dramatic increase in cablemodem and ADSL/SDSL/HDSL/IDSL installations which don't offer static IP's and require running DHCP clients? Let alone all the M$ infested corporate environments? Heck, I even recommend running DHCP to people! Why? It makes roaming between work and home with a laptop 10 times easier! IMHO, requiring a CD to install in a DHCP environment is like requiring a GPS before getting a driving license. Something that a case could be made for, but it'd hold water about as well as a wire mesh fence. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
