Here's what I'm thinking at the moment: - baselayout-1.11.x already emits an error message when there is no DHCP client available and DHCP configuration is requested. For example: * For DHCP (dhcpcd) support, emerge net-misc/dhcpcd - Adding explicit instructions to the install guide to choose a DHCP client is less messy than adding a (local!) USE flag and documenting it in the install guide.
