I dont think the livecd team was even -aware- of this change, and so 
dhcpcd has only recently been added to the livecd specs. if you were to 
use the same specs used to build the 2004.2 livecds now, they would 
-not- have dhcpcd and would -not- be able to connect to the net that way.

<Lv> let me ask you... did you guys even KNOW about the dhcpcd change 
right when it happened?
<zhen> not really
<zhen> we kinda stumbled onto it

so yeah... the only reason why the next livecds will work with dhcp is 
because the livecd team ACCIDENTALLY found out about this change.
