Hey, dude-

What
about overriding the 10s default link-timeout in dhclient.conf for the
installer to, say, 0? I manually set this in /etc/dhclient.conf post install
on all my laptops for the reason you mentioned.
Also, can we save 332 bytes
on the floppies by removing distrib/miniroot/dhclient.conf since it's
generated by the install script now (see comment)?
Best,
Kent
