I am not a LRP guru, but to remove DHCPD you just delete DHCPD.lrp from the floppy, I did it from a windows box, and edit the syslinux.cfg with wordpad and delete DHCPD from the line "append=load_ramdisk=1 initrd=root.lrp initrd_archive=minix ramdisk_size=6144 root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/fd0u1680,msdos PKGPATH=/dev/fd0u1680 LRP=etc,log,local,modules,dhcpd,dnscache,dhclient", I also did this on a windows box. I am pretty sure that dhclient can be done the same way. To add NIC modules (this is from the Readme.txt on the Eigerstein disk) ADDING MODULES TO YOUR LRP DISK 1) Get the Eiger LRP kernel tarball (2.2.16-1.tar.gz) 2) Extract the module(s) you need using winzip. IMPORTANT: Check the modules.dep file to see if there are any dependencies for the module you want. You will need to add these modules as well. Alternative: You can download individual kernel modules from my website: http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/kernel/Eiger/ 3) Copy the module(s) to a 1440K standard dos floppy 4) Insert the dos floppy into your LRP machine 5) Get to a command prompt on the LRP machine (login as root, if necessary, and quit from the lrcfg main menu) 6) Mount the dos floppy mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt 7) Copy the module(s) to /lib/modules cp /mnt/<filename>.o /lib/modules 8) Unmount the dos floppy umount /mnt 9) Modify /etc/modules to load your module. You can use ae from the command line, or lrcfg (menu 3-2-1) 10) ADVANCED: You might want to delete some of the unused network modules to save disk space. Any of the modules commented out in /etc/modules are safe to delete. 11) IMPORTANT: BACKUP YOUR CHANGES OR THEY WILL BE LOST! 12) Select LRP menu item b, then 5 to backup changes to modules
HOpe this helps. If I have misstated anything I hope a guru will correct me.

I have managed to get my 2 NIC work witn Dachstein 3. I was wondering if you would be able to help with through the steps to remove DHCPD and DHCPclient. I would like to be able to have a Static IP environment on the Internal and External Networks. I can't use the Static EigerStein images since they don't support my NICs. I am using the LRP box as a simple router and firewall. If there is any documentation that you know of it would be useful.
