Re: getting dhcp package
For DHCP server machine (machine which gives IP for machines on the
net), you need dhcp 2.0pl4-2
For client machine dhcp-client 2.0pl4-2 or pump
Others such as dhcp-dns and dhcp-relay are not needed as intial start
unless you want specific things these packasge provides.
dhcpcd 1:1.3.17pl2-8 are older version which I never botherd.
Good luck with Linux :-)
Visit my web for my debian experience.
