i am running a slackware 10.0 distro on a pc which is connected to a
network switch. There are two DHCP servers on this network. These
DHCP's are connected to that switch as well.

DHCP1 : 192.168.1.1 (for example)
DHCP2 : 10.0.0.1 (for example)

I know there is a file /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf :

# Config information for eth0:
IPADDR[0]=""
NETMASK[0]=""
USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

I want this pc to use just one of the DHCP servers (192.168.1.1,
particularly). The problem is that when I set :
USE_DHCP[0]="192.168.1.1", instead of "yes", it returns an error.

Thanks for any hints.
