Your message indicated that you were using dhcp-client. Let me recommend dhcp3-client instead. apt-get install dhcp3-client Then when you are satisified with your configuration you can clean up the old one. dpkg --purge dhcp-client http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP/ I don't know why the maintainer split the package for version three. Does anyone know? It is unfortunate. I would like to see dhcp-client converted to dhcp2-client for those people that require the older one and dhcp be a meta package which always depends upon the newer version, similar to 'gcc' and other packages. [Drift: I have not checked. Which dhcp client is the new d-i installing by default? I sure hope it is dhcp v3 and not dhcp v2!] Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
