    <para>First install the service from the CLFS Bootscripts package:</para>

<screen><userinput>tar -xvf bootscripts-cross-lfs-&bootscripts-clfs-version;.tar.bz2
cd 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"
SERVICE="dhcpcd"

# Start Command for DHCPCD
DHCP_START="-q"

# Stop Command for DHCPCD
DHCP_STOP="-k"</literal>
EOF</userinput></screen>
