There are several mirrors scattered about -- something like ftp2.freebsd.org thru ftp6.freebsd.org. And others. There is a file in the /incoming directory of the main ftp.freebsd server, called "dhcp.tar.gz" (or something very similar). I read over its contents briefly, plus there is some source. Claims to do the dhcp thing, but when I got to the part about "Berkeley packet filters", I figured what the hell, my NT servers do a damn good job of handing out dynamic addresses. Couple things...ya know, I never met anybody who was really named "Hamish" -- are you sure you ain't some kinda movie actor or sumpin'? Second, when you get the FBSD binaries and you're looking to add a second disk drive to the system, lemme know what happens. Thanks.
