 HI.

 I'm curious if there is a way to avoid having AutoYast using bootp
 and just stick to DCHP. Is this a driver level exchange or is there
some API that sets this ?
 
 I'm not a network guru, but I understand that DHCP is similar to bootp
 on the initial exchange for IP assignment, but the server has to
support
 DHCP, bootp, or both.

I've verified that the ICS - DHCP server product that comes on the SuSE
CD
 works, but I'm interested in using another server that only supports
DHCP for
 network installs.

 Thanks, John.
