Fedora Core 3 FEDORA-2005-546 Moderate: DHCP Network Update

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol which allows

individual devices on an IP network to get their own network

configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address,

etc.) from a DHCP server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it

easier to administer a large network. The dhcp package includes the

DHCP server and a DHCP relay agent.

You should install dhcp if you want to set up a DHCP server on your

network. You will also need to install the pump package, which

provides the DHCP client daemon, on client machines.

o remove 1 second sleep on PREINIT
