Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Package dhcpcd has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list E: Package dhcpcd has no installation candidate I downloaded the dhcpcd package from the potato tree and tried to install it but it conflicted with dhclient and other software here, and i didn't want to fiddle with that stuff too much; not yet anyway. It's still not working tho i am hoping, perhaps in vain, for some sort of dialog with the Charter tech support people. (I have a charter pipeline account, i don't know how i may have insinuated AT&T, but sorry for any crossed wires.) I also have a windows partition here that i could boot to and glom some config data; just thought about that. Then maybe i could set it up with ifconfig once i had the data. ..... No, that didn't work, copying the apropriate parameters from the windows box to ifconfig. Don't know why, but i bet i'm just not supposed to do that. I keep getting the feeling that i'll need the ISP-assigned hostname. It's only been a couple days since i emailed the tech support people, so i'll cut them a break. Charter uses the the tech support people for line techs when needed, and right now is is tornado/windstorm season here, so i'm probably stuck for a few days.
