I always etc-update my system after emerging and especially _before_ |
| 43 |
rebooting. (you forget it once, then you know which bad things can happen...) |

after the sync of this morning I have installed portage-2.1_pre7-r5, |
| 54 |
man-pages-2.29, git-1.2.6 and somewhat later openoffice-bin-2.0.2. |
| 55 |
and the funny thing is, I tried dhcpcd-2.0.4 just now and it works... I get an |
| 56 |
ip-address also after a reboot. I did not change any files in /etc apart |
| 57 |
from /etc/portage/package.mask to remove =net-misc/dhcpcd-2.0.4. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
so problem solved, but I'm still curious as to what changed so that it works |
| 60 |
now... |
