RE: [newbie] package downloads need conversion?
Just so you know, I dont believe that the DHCPD is what you need if you are trying to configure it as a client. Dhcpd is the daemon which provides the service to others. If you are not trying to make a dhcp server, I wouldnt recommend that you install this package. If you go into linuxconf network settings defaults, and remove EVERYTHING (ip settings, gateways, dns, etc.) except the driver for your network card, and then choose the option of DHCP or (automatically configure) this should work it is mandatory that there be absolutely no ips of any kind entered for the eth0 device give that a whirl I say!

Hi everybody, I'm trying to get my Mandrake 8.0 system online and need to install dhcpcd or pump as a dhcp client. Can I download these packages on a Windows box and install them straight on my Linux box or do I have to convert them into a Linux compatible format? Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Matthias

Thanks, Matthias Can't you just install them from the software manager since they're (should be) on the download disks? Or ( I find this easier) run through the install again selecting upgrade installing (add packages? I don't remember) only the packages (the dhcpd, pump, whatever) you need, then let it configure the network when you get to that step? Or have you tried that and it didn't work? Don't know, but that should work. -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org The urge to destroy is also a creative urge. -- Bakunin [ed. note - I would say: The urge to destroy may sometimes be a creative urge.] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

just run rpmdrake and tick the search box.. enter dhcp and you will find all you want and more.. then just edit your settings to suit... but if you download them as rpm's in windows, and transfer them to a linux accessable partition, then yes. you can install them. rgds Frank -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Matthias MonrealSent: Saturday, 8 June 2002 3:51 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [newbie] package downloads need conversion?
