Hello, Thanks for answering :)

I believe the first step is the todo list items https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/contributing/ “ - Make sure that lwip supports configuration by DHCP. - Extensively test (e.g. running testsuites of glibc, perl, curl, rust-mio) and fix the lwip-based TCP/IP stack, to be sure we don't get regressions by switching to it. ” (again, for the second point, it's *regressions* I'm talking about. It's fine to see some tests fail if they were already failing with pfinet, it's possibly just outside of the pfinet/lwip area. What we don't want is regressing). and then it's about figuring out how to do the transition. There's the set up for new installs in debian/local/setup-translators. We'll want to migrate existing installs in debian/hurd.postinst. There's also the debian-installer code in netcfg and netcfg-static that will need fixing. Possibly others, apparently mmdebstrap and crosshurd too. > I'm currently working on trying to make > dhclient work.

You have the latest snapshot on http://snapshot.debian.org/package/isc-dhcp/4.4.3-P1-1.1%2Bhurd.2/ which is what I used to build on hurd-amd64. Samuel
