Hello all,

I have just downloaded and burned the rc5 build cd in hopes of running
Gentoo and helping with the development (or at least the docs!).

One problem though...

I have done the following:
1) Boot from build CD image (42MB size)

2) Login as root

3) modprobe tulip (activates network card)

4) ifconfig eth0 up

5) dhcpcd -d eth0

I get the card to broadcast a request, but it times out.

BTW, I am using a lynxsys dsl router (has a dhcp server) to connect.  Also,
this setup works in Debian Potato and Woody.  What is different in this
system?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Daniel Parker
