I tries the following:
* Commented out all lines in /etc/init.d/net
* emerged dhcdbd and added it to the chain:
acpid | default
alsasound | boot
beagled | default
bootmisc | boot
checkfs | boot
checkroot | boot
clock | boot
consolefont | boot
cpudyn | default
cupsd | default
dhcdbd | default
esound | default
gpm | default
hald | default
hostname | boot
ivman-user | default
keymaps | boot
lm_sensors | boot
local | default nonetwork
localmount | boot
modules | boot
net.eth0 | default
net.lo | boot
netmount | default
rmnologin | boot
samba | default
syslog-ng | default
urandom | boot
usbd | default
vixie-cron | default
xdm | default
xinetd | default
But it did not bring dhcp on at boot.
Is there any method I can follow the initialisation process and see if the dhcp
daemon is called?
