DHCP kernel support



I was installing some servers for my Dad's law office (great way to
spend vacation time, I know) and discovered that the stock kernel on the
boot floppies does not support DHCP. Since my Dad's office goes through
a cable modem, and DHCPCD is the only way to get online, it made things
much more difficult then it should have been.

I think DHCP is common enough it should have kernel support out of the
box (and adding support for it to the boot floppies would be nice as
well). 

Agreed?
