Hi,
    Another good reason to grab the full distribution is that I still see
some people running really old versions of dhclient, 2.0b1pl6 or so, and
if I remember correctly, these old versions had a problem of messing with
interfaces they weren't instructed to.  I don't see any mention on the LRP
website which version they are using, so I don't know if this is a possible
problem or not.  Something to keep in mind, anyways.
