Copy the package file to your floppy and add the package to the LRP= part of
your syslinux.cfg file.

Hmm...there could be something else wrong.  Please provide the exact
circumstances involved, and the exact error(s) generated.

You'll probably have to stop *ALL* logging from dhclient.  You control this
with the /etc/syslog.conf file.  I don't off-hand remember how you'd do
this, but a quick google search should turn up man pages and/or helpful
info.

You should upgrade.  Dachstein is still based on a 2.2 kernel (ipchains),
and is a direct decendant of EigerStein.  Basically, Dachstein is EigerStein
with several updated binaries, a newer kernel, and enhanced firewall
scripts, so you should feel right at home coming from any of the other
"mountain" based releases (ie Eiger/Materhorn).
