Your going to end up makeing slight changes for the new environment for your dad's computer anyways, I suggest configure it by hand for the install. Your only talking about a simple change latter on in the install to /etc/conf.d/net (uncomment iface_eth0="dhcp") why sweat it now? If your it realy bothers you (it might me as well) try dhcpcd with -B for broadcast ? or possibly a longer timeout with -t <length in seconds> ? -- Douglas Peter Sculley GnuPG key available at www.usal.us -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
