If you want to set up a DHCP server, you will have to configure it. That message is telling you how to do that and where to find the info....

HOWEVER.....

if you are trying to set up your computer as a DHCP client to connect to an already existing DHCP server then you want to run the DHCP client daemon (dhcpcd*) * note the extra C in there.

This is typically run as root.

Thanks Idle for the input about the *cd option (4 client) for dhcp. I'd been having trouble setting up my slack box using dhcp and now thanks to u i'm one step closer. Trying to get nic to work using (unfortunately XP) as host for now. Thanks again. Still have to get the XP to setup but thats a diff ?? for diff place and time.
