Im using dhcp, but Im not always connected to the server.
Does someone know how to change the dhcp-timeout so that I dont have to wait for about a minute before the boot-sequence continues :?:
Its so annoying to just stare at the "Setting eth0 up" and know that it doesnt matter how much it tries, it wont get an ip anyway. :?


Grateful for help!

In /etc/conf.d/net, edit DHCP_OPTS and change it to "-t <timeout>", which is in seconds. 10 is a nice value ;)
