Hmm, need to look at it a bit more thoroughly then. Archaic had the same concern. His suggestion for greping "dhcp" might be able to be extended or done locally in LightCube OS, IPFire, IPCop?, others?, for supported types...but im having second thoughts now. It really would be best to get it into main repo if this concern is shared across the boards. > >> Hope I didn't miss anything, but I've got to go. > >Can we do something more explicit about versioning? Need Bruce or Matt to chime in here, but I don't see that it's a big deal to something about a more common versioning scheme. -- DJ -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
