[SOLVED] Dhcp

DOLLAR · Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2008 7:28 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Dhcp

Just installed Gentoo following the handbook but when I reboot it does not have an internet connection.
It says that there is no dhcp client installed.

I am sure I ran emerge dhcpcd when installing but can not be sure. What can I do now as emerge dhcpcd doesn't work with no internet connection.

THanks,

start working from the livecd chroot

then you have access to internet and all that.

Try eth0 dhcp as root.

you didn't install a portage snapshot yet, i think... or you're still in the livecd

1. If you didn't install a portage snapshot (ls /usr/portage/ is empty) try syncing the repository (emerge --sync).
2. If after syncing the symlink /etc/make.profile is invalid try making a proper one (browse /usr/portage/profiles/).

Good luck.

Thanks for all the good ideas but just re-installed it.
