what are you talking about ? baselayout by *no* means depends on dhcpcd |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
the lastest versions dont enable anything by default ... you want dhcp, you |
| 20 |
enable it ... plus, it even supports more than just dhcpcd (oh wait, there's |
| 21 |
no virtual/dhcpc ...) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
a little snippit: |
| 24 |
# DHCP can be provided by dhcpcd (default), dhclient, udhcpc or pump |
| 25 |
# |
| 26 |
# dhcpcd: emerge net-misc/dhcpcd |
| 27 |
# dhclient: emerge net-misc/dhcp and modules=( "dhclient" ) above |
| 28 |
# udhcp: emerge net-misc/udhcp and modules=( "udhcp" ) above |
| 29 |
# pump: emerge net-misc/pump and modules=( "pump" ) above |
| 30 |

no, we dont ... the point is, you want dhcp, you emerge it |
