Is there a reason that 5.2 doesnt have a DHCP client built into it. My previous Linux (RH 4.2) *almost* had it (I just had to add the line BOOTPROTO=dhcp to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0). Many offices use DHCP internally - its the Ethernet eqvt of an ISP's dynamic IP addressing - so it is important. I myself can prolly figure out how to do this, considering that in RH 4.1 I had to do it myself. However, I'm trying to convince a number of people in my office to switch to Linux (or at least on a second partition), and I was very excited about being able to recommend one distribution that makes everything so *neat* for the new user. (I have joined this list only recently. Searched the archives, but only found a question from someone. No answers...) Thanks for any info. (Searched the FTP site - no dhcpCd files except the standard HOWTOs. Once again - I hope it's included in the next version. I know many people who would love to get into Linux, and might come to love it as time goes, but it's important that their *first* few steps into Linux be as simple and uncomplicated as possible. SuSE comes closest so far for my needs in this evangelistic attempt of mine.)
