<screen><userinput>tar -jxvf bootscripts-cross-lfs-&bootscripts-clfs-version;.tar.bz2
cd -v bootscripts-cross-lfs-&bootscripts-clfs-version;
make install-service-dhcpcd</userinput></screen>

    <para>Finally, create the
    <filename>/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0/dhcpcd</filename>
    configuration file using the following commands. Adjust appropriately for
    additional interfaces:</para>

<screen><userinput>cd /etc/sysconfig/network-devices &amp;&amp;
mkdir -v ifconfig.eth0 &amp;&amp;
cat &gt; ifconfig.eth0/dhcpcd &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal>ONBOOT="yes"
