Description: ISC DHCP client (transitional package)
This is the client from the Internet Software Consortium's implementation of
DHCP. For more information visit http://www.isc.org.
.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol like BOOTP
(actually dhcpd includes much of the functionality of bootpd). It
gives client machines "leases" for IP addresses and can
automatically set their network configuration. If your machine
depends on DHCP (especially likely if it's a workstation on a large
network, or a laptop, or attached to a cable modem), keep this or
another DHCP client installed.
.
This is a dummy package to aid in transitioning from the v3 DHCP packages
to the new-style DHCP packages.
.
This dummy package may be safely removed after upgrading to squeeze
Description: DHCP Client
This is the DHCP client from version 3 of the Internet Software
Consortium DHCP package. For more information visit the ISC web
site at http://www.isc.org.
.
This is a split off from the dhcp package and contains the DHCP client
tools.
.
Cable modem users likely need this or another dhcp client to successfully
connect to the network.
.
Documentation (apart from manpages) can be found in the dhcp package.
.
Note: This package _requires_ a 2.2.x or later Linux kernel. 2.0.x kernels
are _not_ supported.
