%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ dhcpcd dhcpcd is an implementation of the DHCP client specified in RFC2131. A DHCP client is useful for connecting your computer to a network which uses DHCP to assign network addresses. dhcpcd strives to be a fully featured, yet very lightweight DHCP client. &lfs75_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &dhcpcd-md5sum; Download size: &dhcpcd-size; Estimated disk space required: &dhcpcd-buildsize; Estimated build time: &dhcpcd-time; User Notes: Install dhcpcd by running the following commands: ./configure --libexecdir=/lib/dhcpcd \ --dbdir=/var/tmp && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install --libexecdir=/lib/dhcpcd: The default /libexec is not FHS-compliant. Since this directory may need to be available early in the boot, /usr/libexec cannot be used either. --dbdir=/var/tmp: The default /var/lib is not FHS-compliant --with-hook=...: You can optionally install more hooks, for example to install some configuration files such as ntp.conf. The set of hooks is in the dhcpcd-hooks directory in the build tree.
