! dhcp-agent
! ----------
! 
! This is a pre-release version of dhcp-agent.
! 
! dhcp-agent will be a complete DHCP client/server suite, with a
! number of tools for network troubleshooting, and configuration. In
! its current state a simple dhcp sniffer and an beta-quality dhcp
! client have been implemented. 
! 
! The current implementation of the dhcp-server is just skeleton
! code. Expect a complete server in the next month (hopefully).
! 
! Your help in building and testing this suite will be much
! appreciated.
  
! Please know that, only the desperate and depraved would run the
! client on a production machine.
  
! Read the INSTALL file for instructions on compiling and installing dhcp-agent.
  
  The project's website is:
  
! http://dhcp-agent.sf.net/
  
  Supported Platforms
  -------------------
  
! dhcp-agent has been tested on:
  
  GNU/Linux 2.4.x  (i386)

!                 dhcp-agent: A Portable, and 
!                             Extendable UNIX DHCP Suite
!                 ---------------------------------------
  
! dhcp-agent is a portable and extendable UNIX DHCP Suite. It is
! portable because it relies on two portable raw network layer
! libraries: libdnet, and libpcap. In addition to that, we've done
! our best to keep the C code as portable as possible. Still, some
! work may be needed to get this suite to work on exotic UNIX
! flavors. We'll gladly accept patches for that purpose.
  
! The DHCP suite's components are extendable, where applicable,
! with the Scheme programming language. This is done by embedding
! guile, GNU's Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extension. If
! you're a fellow Schemer then this feature will make you very
! happy. If not, don't worry. The suite is still useable without
! you writing extensions for it.

  Supported Platforms

+ State of the code:
+ ------------------
+ 
+ This is a pre-release version of dhcp-agent. The suite is still
+ in development mode, and needs as much testing and bug reporting
+ as you, the user, can provide.
+ 
+ Currently a beta quality DHCP client, and sniffer have been
+ implemented. There are a few quirks with both these components
+ but we believe they're ready for you to test and probably use
+ with some measure of success.
+ 
+ We've had reports of users who have used the client with a
+ greater measure of success than they had with other DHCP clients.
+ 
+ The DHCP server is currently being developed, and we do not
+ believe it is ready for use.
+ 
+ Most of the code is OK. Some FIXMEs crop up and are taken care of
+ in between releases. Some parts are becoming ugly, or badly
+ named. Currently, we do not have a hacker's guide. The code is
+ the documentation if you plan on hacking on it. 
+ 
+ When submitting patches please try to keep your programming style
+ consistent with ours. This shouldn't be too hard, 
+ 
+ Installing:
+ -----------
+ 
+ Read the INSTALL file for instructions on compiling and installing dhcp-agent.

  To install: "make install;"
  
  If you are using a system which does not use GNU make by default,
  please install GNU make. Usually it is installed as "gmake"
  
- To install with GNU make explicitly: "gmake install;"
- 
  Before installing please uninstall any previous distribution of
! dhcp-agent, or dhcp suite package. Make sure you also disabled
! any dhcp client or server running on the host.
  
  Additional Configuration Options

  To install: "make install;"
  
+ Tp install a stripped version, which will take up less space:
+ 
+             "make install-strip"
+ 
  If you are using a system which does not use GNU make by default,
  please install GNU make. Usually it is installed as "gmake"
  
  Before installing please uninstall any previous distribution of
! dhcp-agent. Make sure you also disabled any dhcp client or server
! running on the host before running components of dhcp-agent.
