No doubt about it, a userland client will be better for production use. but if you need to use dhcp to get the box online to download packages, then this is a very useful feature and I'm glad that I have found out about it just for that reason. Currently I don't require dhcp at all, so I don't need to use either, but knowing it's there if needed is good. :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
