Re: dhcp-client v pump

[Clive Menzies <clive@clivemenzies.co.uk>]

Thanks Christophe

'Cos I'm running a NuBus Mac and my technical knowledge is severely 
limited, I'm not sure that configuring the kernel is a sensible option 
for me - even if I had a vague idea how to start.  I think I'll stick 
with pump ;-)

However, I've recently acquired a G4 and I intend to install Woody on 
that - perhaps I'll revisit it then.

Regards

Clive
