+<para><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../dhcpcd-&dhcpcd-version;.patch
+:</userinput> Dhcpcd unpatched puts all configuration and temporary
+files in <filename>/etc/dhcpc</filename>. This becomes very annoying
+when dhcpcd tells you it's running and it's not.  You look in
+<filename>/var/run</filename> for the pid file, but it's not there, the
+pid file that needs deleting is in <filename>/etc/dhcpc</filename>. This
+patch brings this program into FHS compliance, but more importantly,
+puts files where you expect them to be.</para>
