Does this mean that we now have a live CD that contains BIND from pkgsrc (and so has host, dig, nslookup, etc) _and_ the lnds/drill tools? The whole point of Jan's work was making it so we have less third-party code to update in base, I thought. My understanding is that nobody should be without the normal BIND tools - they'll just be from the pkgsrc package. It would come on the CD/DVD. If you happened to have an older (2.5 -> 2.7) system that was upgraded to remove BIND, it's fixable with 'pkg_radd bind96', rather than needing these additional tools. Someone correct me if I'm not describing reality.
