Russ, Thank you - That allowed me to remove the package and I used the
command...
rpm -Uhv dhcpcd......rpm to re-install it. However, I was still missing
something. /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd was missing. /usr/sbin/dhcpd was
missing. That's when id dawned on me that I was installing just the client.
When I looked on CD #2, I found the other package for the daemon, installed
it and it works.
Thank you all for your help!!! I am working now.
