You bring up too good points. What, exactly, is the definition of system? If it is 'everything you need to have a network connected box, so you can go get anything else you need" then I DO think PPPoE should be in it, and maybe ppp or whatever is current in the way of dial-up. They are both quite equivalent to dhcpcd, and neither is all that big, I don't think. The real question is, what is System? -- Craig West Ph: (416) 666-1645 | It's not a bug, acwest-sig@craigwest.net | It's a feature... -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
