You can find packages at: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dnsmasq/ It's very easy to set up for a small network DHCP/DNS and it also can do BOOTP. I'm not sure if the documentation is very clear about BOOTP and you may need some prior knowledge to know what to configure. Still, dnsmasq is probably the best way to go if you don't need all the advanced stuff from ISC bind and ISC dhcpd. PS And if you want to score some good community-points you could volunteer to improve the dnsmasq documentation for setting up a bootp-server.
