5:</userinput> Dhcpcd unpatched puts all configuration and temporary
6files in <filename>/etc/dhcpc</filename>. This becomes very annoying
7when dhcpcd tells you it's running and it's not. You look in
8<filename>/var/run</filename> for the pid file, but it's not there, the
9pid file that needs deleting is in <filename>/etc/dhcpc</filename>. This
10patch brings this program into FHS compliance, but more importantly,
11puts files where you expect them to be.</para>

13<para><userinput>--prefix="" :</userinput>There may be a good reason for
14abandoning the normal BLFS convention of using --prefix=/usr here. If
15you are installing DHCP, it is likely that it is required during the
16boot process and /usr may be network mounted in which case, dhcpcd
17wouldn't be available due to being on the network! Therefore, depending
18on your situation, you may want it to be installed in <filename>/sbin</filename> or <filename>/usr/sbin</filename>. This command installs to <filename>/sbin</filename>.</para>
