Hi Lee, thanks for your information. I tried to install the *30* version (Your memory seems to be really good!) but dhclient still wouldn't work. Than I tried all kind of other versions, newer and older ones, no result. Finally I decided to reinstall Fedora Core 3 before waisting another week - and was emazed about how fast and smooth the installation was after all those hours lost... my good mood came back again :) ...still... I didn't udpate until now ... and do not really look forward to do so...but... I would like to backup the working dhcp version before updating again - all files dhclient depends on, manipulates, ... - for the case I get into troubles again. For the moment I did the following: cd / tar -cvf dhcp.tar \ etc/log.d/conf/services/dhcpd.conf \ etc/log.d/scripts/services/dhcpd \ etc/resolv.conf.predhclient \ var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases \ var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases \ sbin/dhclient-script \ sbin/dhclient Is this enough / to much / the wrong way / ... ? After not beeing able to reinstall dhclient and make it work again I somehow lost confidence... and feel unsure about the question if these are the right files or not, if something is missing,... For the case you know and feel like writing another mail ... For the case you do not (or feel like doing something more productive), thank you very much!!! You brought me back to some realistic solution and I still have the rest of one afternoon to spend somewhere in the nature, far away from the screen :) Thank you very much!!! And best wishes, Die > I just went to a fedora mirror site, they all have two paths. One is the > original FC3 and the other is update, just use the original.
