With the -d option, I discovered that failure occurs on the DHCP_DISCOVER call. This is really odd. Like I said, my 
dhcp server has a debian box and 2 windows boaxes connecting to it and they run fine. Do I need to do anything 
before I attempt to run dhcp eth0? The only thing that I have done is enabled the network card by loading the tulip 
driver with modprobe. Is there something else I should do first?

I have noticed that both the binary and build CD have dhcpcd but the OFF_inet.dhcp_eth0 file uses dhclient in the 
script. You may want to either update the script or add the dhclient file back into the sbin directory.

Is there a rc4 iso image that I can get at? Maybe using a different image will be of help?
