DHCP is not allocated by dhcpd, but dhclient works

[MatthewCroughan]

For some reason, be it my network or otherwise, I see dhcpd does not fail on startup of the installer, and that it seemingly completes. Upon running ifconfig, I do not have an ipv4 address, which means you cannot install, etc. However, by running dhclient I am assigned an ipv4 address by the network. Unsure if this is an oversight or not, seems unlikely considering that Anarchy is used a lot. Just reporting this here, I can provide further details if you ask me to replicate this, but it really is just that simple:

• Boot anarchy
• Welcome to Anarchy Linux
• execute ifconfig
• eno1 has only an inet6 addr, not inet, (no ipv4)
• execute dhclient
• execute ifconfig
• I see that I now have an ipv4 address and can continue with the install

notebook?

Then how you have started installer here?
#798

@condor2 What do you mean? This is a separate issue. I simply got the networking working by typing dhclient and then proceeded to use the installer in issue #798. That issue is caused by the lack of an st package in the regular repos, and you are using pacman to try and obtain an AUR package.
