I think it should be. most networks require dhcp, and loading by floppy or CD
is a pain if you've got an nfs server running.

bootpc and dhcpcd both only link to:
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40019000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
pump requires additional libraries:
libpopt.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpopt.so.0 (0x40019000)
libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x40020000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4002f000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
Of course, it still doesn't work.
If size is an issue, most networks that have lease servers running use dhcp.
Bootp is mostly deprecated by now. Therefore, it might be completely
reasonable to leave bootp-on-rescue-install out while including dhcp.
Also, in response to whoever said that dhclient is always superior to
dhcpcd, think again. DHCP leases expire every now and again. For that reason
you need a daemon running to keep your network up. dhcpcd rises to the
occasion; dhclient doesn't.
