Ok, I'll bite:) I have a DSL connection that uses DHCP and a spare 486
box I can easily use for testing boot/install floppy. I'm willing to take
a shot at a DHCP patch. I have a couple of questions though. How does
the boot floppy work for development? Is there a source tree for all of
the utilities that it needs that get built and then a "install" that
writes an image file for testing? I've never created a boot/install
disk before, but if you can point me to somewhere I can RTFM I'd be
happy to get started.
