Good reasoning, wrong conclusion. The dhclient executable grew more than 3-fold between the 2.0 and 3.0 versions. There may be additional factors, but you didn't consider the common directory, which includes a very large libdhcp.a. -Richard _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
