it might be a nice idea to look into how knoppix backgrounds the dhcp |
| 54 |
process and implement that into Gentoo's init, |
| 55 |
i think i did get annoyed with the dhcp process taking ages a few years |
| 56 |
back and just put a '&' at the end of the dhcp line, i cant remember if |
| 57 |
this worked or not tho. |
