The main benefit from dhcp was to assign ip's dynamically from a range, bootp was a one-to-one MAC to ip system, I think. You should be able to get dhcp to do all bootp could. On modern RHL systems you'll have to compile and install bootp from source. The rpms (last one from 5.1) want inetd. -- Mvh Ragnar Wisløff ------------------ life is a reach. then you gybe. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
