Frankly, this makes sense to me. 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.
Regards,
Aron
