For one thing, you have to recompile the SuSE 6.3 standard kernel to include additional networking options required by version 3. Also, there is no rpm package of dhclient version 3 (to my knowledge) so you must deinstall dhclient 2 first; download the dhclient source from iso.org; compile and install dhclient 3; and setup the scripts. Based on what I have seen, however, the config files are the same.

That sucks. If they knew it wasn't working in 6.2 why would they put it in 6.3? Could I use dhcpcd-1.3.17pl5-2.i386.rpm without recompiling the kernel? What else would I have to change going from dhclient to dhcpcd? ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer http://kramer.ne.mediaone.net DK KD DKK D It is better to be defeated on principal than to win on lies DK KD DDDD Arthur Calwell -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
