I'm running your Eiger Static image.  It doesn't have DHCP on it does it?  I
have two floppy drive in the box so I can add a bunch more stuff. I thought DHCP
only provided IP's for boxes that needed them.  How can it provide routes?  Is
there a doc I can read on that?  I'm really more of a developer but I'm enjoying
this working with this stuff.
