-The initscripts package contains the basic system scripts used to boot
-your Lunar Linux system, change runlevels, and shut the system down
-cleanly.  Initscripts also contains the scripts that activate and
-deactivate most network interfaces.
+DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and BOOTP (Boot Protocol)
+are protocols which allow individual devices on an IP network to get
+their own network configuration information (IP address, subnetmask,
+broadcast address, etc.) from network servers. The overall purpose of
+DHCP and BOOTP is to make it easier to administer a large network. 
+Pump is a combined BOOTP and DHCP client daemon, which allows your 
+machine to retrieve configuration information from a server. You 
+should install this package if you are on a network which uses BOOTP
+or DHCP.
