At least in my case tftpd-hpa has several features the "normal" tftpd lacks which are very useful, like PXE support (newer IA network boot method) and file-name remapping using regexps. A standalone mode is certainly a bonus. So I think it's existence is justified. On the other hand, the tftp-hpa doesn't seem to have much benefit over the "normal" tftp. It has readline-support but I can't activate that because tftp is old-style BSD-licence (adv. clause) and can't be linked with readline (GPL). Should I drop the client package or is it justified as (major) code-alternative ? -- Oliver M. Bolzer oliver@gol.com GPG (PGP) Fingerprint = 621B 52F6 2AC1 36DB 8761 018F 8786 87AD EF50 D1FF
