Re: [newbie] Ethernet and DSL...do this first

Brian,

I forgot to pass on the install info that I was given for DHCP if it is not
already installed.  These are the instructions given to me.

Sounds like you did an automatic install under Mandrake.  The automatic
install does not install the dhcp client.  You had to do that manually.  You
give no indication of which (if any) Window Manager you use so:
     Login as root
     put the initial installation cd in the cdrom drive.
     From the command line type 'cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS'
     Then type 'rpm -i dhcp-client-3.0b1pl12-4mdk.i586.rpm'
     Then type 'shutdown -r now'

Sorry I did not send this with my earlier message...this needs to be done
before the other for it to work.
