Thanks for the info Karsten.

I was using dhcpcd on my laptop then switched over to pump yesterday when the
thought occurred to me about which Debian would use on a fresh install.

Again, Thank you.  -mk

AFAIK, pump.  Though you can install others via apt as you wish, or from
other sources if you really want.

    $ apt-cache search dhcp
    dhcpcd - DHCP client for automatically configuring IPv4 networking
    autodns-dhcp - Automatic DNS updates for DHCP
    autoinstall - Progeny Debian auto-installation system
    bootp - bootp/DHCP server
    dhcp - DHCP server for automatic IP address assignment
    dhcp-client - DHCP Client
    dhcp-dns - Dynamic DNS updates for DHCP
    dhcp-relay - DHCP Relay
    dhcpdump - Parse DHCP packets from tcpdump
    dhcping - DHCP Daemon Ping Program
    fai-kernels - special kernels for FAI (Fully Automatic Installation)
    lg-issue48 - Issue 48 of the Linux Gazette.
    pump - Simple DHCP/BOOTP client.
    rrlogind - Login daemon for the Road Runner Cable Modem Service
    udhcpc - very small DHCP client
    udhcpd - very small DHCP server
    webmin-dhcpd - dhcpd control module for webmin
    whereami - Automatically reconfigure your (laptop) system for a new location

Peace.
