As Mike Frysinger stated above, the new baselayout doesn't have a dependency on any kind of dhcp client, let alone dhcpcd specifically. If you need dhcpcd, you can emerge it. If not, you're no longer forced to have it. I have a lot of things emerged that are necessary for my system to run, but not for everyone's. These things are not in the system profile. dhcpcd is the kind of thing that falls into this category. Thus, dhcpcd should not be in the system profile. Athul -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
