You don't say what version you are running, but in 7.1 (I don't know about
7.2) the automatic install did not install the DHCP client. Log in a root,
put your installation cd in the cdrom, click on the CDRom icon on your KDE
desktop, traverse down Mandrake to RPMS, scan down looking for dhcp-client,
click on it, kpackage should come up, click Install button. Or do
'cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS', 'ls dhcp*', and 'rpm -i (the dhcp-client
package)'
This should install the dhcp client and you should be able to get eth0
started.
