why not use udhcpc in the boot floppies ? it's really small.
there was a few mails about that in september, 2001 ; and I
can't remember major objections, except lack of testing for
compatibility with misc. dhcp servers. if nobody wants/has
the time to integrate udhcpc in boot floppies, well, I might
just as well volunteer (but I am currently totally ignorant
of the internal of boot floppies).
sorry if that matter has been discuted again recently, but
a quick google search yielded nothing new about it ...
