dhcpcd is deprecated, instead use dhcp-client. Actually dhcp-client is a part of the dhcp package. In Debian, it is split up and you can do an 'apt-get install dhcp-client'. > What is the DHCP client ID, how does one acquire it ? Usually the DHCP client ID is the hardware device ID. Cable modems and ethernet cards have unique IDs and is mapped at the DHCP server end. One can map it in a such a way that the DHCP server assigns a valid IP from the common pool only to a valid client-device ID. Cable modems have this hardware ID on the back/underneath and that of an Ethernet card can be got by doing an ifconfig. > Will a person making installation have to enter it manually ? Can you elaborate your question further, maybe re-word the same ? -- /(__ __|\ ragOO, VU2RGU<->http://gnuhead.dyndns.org/<->GPG: 1024D/F1624A6E ( \/ __)_ Helping to keep the Air-Waves FREE Amateur Radio ) (_____ / Helping to keep your Software FREE the GNU Project /___________/ Helping to keep the W W W FREE Debian GNU/${kernel} _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
