okay, I got DHCP working.... kinda. It isn't being offered a lease and I don't
have a clue how to even google on this one.
This is how I got DHCP to work
I read in the debian manual (online) to make sure a line was
in /etc/network/interfaces. That line is
iface eth0 inet dhcp
so I copy the line and put up top. That doesn't change anything so I spend the
rest of the trying to get dhcp to work. Finally I figure I should
investigate ..../interfaces more closely and look at what I found at the
bottom of the script: (without the hash marks)
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
# address 10.10.10.2
# netmask 255.0.0.0
# network address.0
# broadcast 10.255.255.255
# gateway ...
.... so I copied that first line and put the hash marks in and the next time I
rebooted dhcp tried to get a lease! I was so happy until the lease was
denied.
So please, tell me what I need to do no or point me in the right direction.
earlier today....
I got apt-get working again so I ran it for the desired dhcp tool. At the end
of the download it tells me that:
This installation run will require temporarily removing the
essential package e2fsprogs due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop.
This is often bad, but.....
I tried fixing it by running 'apt-get install e2fsprogs' but that resulted in
the same error........ ohhhhhhh! That is one of the files being updated so it
must be disabled. Cool.
How do I update apt.conf? I attempted to merely place the suggested line at
the end but that didn't help. I then moved that line to the middle but the
machine keeps telling that I put 'Extra junk at end of file.
I get it.... I need the semi-colon at the end.
Okay.... it all installed noow I guess do the windows fix..... restart the
machine!

E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential
package e2fsprogs due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but
if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option.
