BW! - Is that "make buildworld" or can I simply make the dhclient by itself ?
BW! (if so, what's the command to build one single package like dhcp ?)
To build only one package, use
make buildworld PACKAGE=dhcp
for example...
BW! - Does "make buildworld" put the built binaries in /bin, /sbin, ... ?
BW! or does it create rpms to be installed with "make installworld" ?
BW! or are they put in one dir, to be copied to more usefull dirs manually ?
BW! (I couldn't really find that out by looking at the Makefile and scripts.)
No, as root you need to run make installworld.
To just install one packages (like dhcp*) run:
# rpm -ivh RPMS/dhcp*
from /usr/src/world

BW! Well, unfortunately my ISP requires me to use DHCP to get an IP address on
BW! the local network. Also, I have to install PPPOE to reach the internet.
BW! Which brings me to my next question: Which PPPOE client would you recommend
BW! ?
Don't know of any, can't make any recommendations personally.
One other tip I will give ; make your dhcp client exit after obtaining
a lease ; otherwise it may be possible to send bad data to your client
and make it crash or worse...
However this may break the way your ISP re-leases IP addresses, but I
know which problem I'd rather be fixing ;-))
Regards,
Simon.

BW! Cheers and thanks in advance for answering all my n00b questions ;)
