It is not about home setup at all. When a new machine is connected to the alien LAN, dhcp is the easiest way to get it working for the users without admin access.

However I do miss some handy things in LFS/BLFS books which helps to tune a box: bonding setup, ipv6, mtu, etc. And I don't believe they are "too advanced" to be included in the book. cheers, alexey -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
