I just installed from the gentoo.org guide.  I am running Gentoo/FreeBSD-6.1 and have discovered the following bug.

With dhclient_edit_config="yes" enabled in /etc/conf.d/net, the dhclient module generates and error from sed stating extra characters at the end of d command.  I suspect this is generated by improper use of the "-i" flag for sed.  From my reading of the man page, -i requires an argument under all circumstances i.e. '-i .mybackup' for a named backup or '-i ""' for no backup.  When the second syntax is used, the error text goes away.

diff to follow

Thanks for a great product!

6.1 has been expunged and 6.2 is now using the default baselayout.  The rc-scripts are now completely different and use dhclient much more efficiently.  There is no more sed'ding of conf files and the like.

Thanks!
