13 I am still working hard at this; I even have burnt a new CD and
14 reinstalled from it, but there is nothing doing. To state my problem
15 again, it occurs on an G4 iMac with the Gentoo universal
16 ppc-install-2005.1 disc. At the end of the boot process, just before the
17 login, I get this:

56 The cause of the trouble seems to be pointed out by the line
57 "dhcpcd[4718]: timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response" (and
58 there is indeed quite a delay at the stage "Running dhcpcd").
59
60 But now what can I do to get this "valid DHCP server response"? There
61 seems to be nothing about dhcp in the .config file: what then? does it
62 suppose that I am already connected to the Net?
