Just out of curiosity, are there plans to include dhcpcd in the base system for Potato? When I wanted to do an internet install over my cable modem, it involved also downloading the dhcpcd and netstd packages, and installing them in a Virtual Console, after installing base, but before installing the rest of the system. Unfortunately, I lost the option to get any of the shake-n-bake package selections, and had to select my packages by hand. Not an unplesent experience, but enough of a pain to worth mentioning.
