Have we tested that the update to 9.2 works if DHCP is set?

This person is in Early, apparently and got an update to 9.2.7, I
believe.

So instead of reading up on the internet this evening, I wound up
watching my computer automatically update to 9.2, reboot and NOT work,
so I had to reinstall 9.1 :( I'm a doofus-- I had set PUBLIC to false,
but I had forgot to set AUTOUPDATE to false.

When I rebooted after the 9.2 upgrade, it complained about not finding
the ip info for the eth0 device. Perhaps you may want to check that the
update program will work fine with dhcp....

Philosophical question: why did Athena choose to go with Evolution
rather than, say, Mozilla, as a mail handler?
