As an alternative, you could build the new dhcpcd from rpm source on your 13.1 system. What's the procedure for doing that? I've already tried an rpm that was supposedly built for 13.1 and it killed dhcp completely. You get hold of the source rpm, install it, then "rpmbuild -bb <specfile>. You may need to install some extra -devel packages and tools. Your new rpm should end up /usr/src/packages/RPMS I believe.
What do you mean by <specfile>? Is that something I'm supposed to create? Please understand, I have never built an rpm from source.
man rpmbuild
Yes, that is a good suggestion - James, when you install the source rpm, it ends up in /usr/src/packages/<various> - one is SPECS/ which will have the spec-file, "something.spec". The process is fully automated, but you may need to play with a little to get comfortable. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
