dhcpcd search time.......

[Niki Guldbrand]

Hi Ralph.

This is copied directly from the dhcpcd man page:

       -t <timeout>
              Specifies (in seconds ) for how long dhcpcd will try to
get an IP  address.  The  default  is 60 seconds. dhcpcd will not fork
into background until it gets a valid IP address in  which case dhcpcd
will return 0 to the parent process. In a case dhcpcd times out before
receiving a valid IP address from  DHCP  server dhcpcd will return exit
code 1 to the parent process.

And you can specify the -t option for the network by starting "lnet",
then choosing the interface you have dhcp on, then "Configure" and
continue with your configration until you reach the dhcp part, select
your dhcp client, after that you can specify which dhcp client arguments
you want to use, then you just have to finish your configuration, and
then exit lnet, and it should be ready for your next reboot.
