-In order to use DHCP, you need to install the `ifupdown` and `isc-dhcp-client`
-packages, and manually create the following symbolic link:
-
-    # ln -s ../rcS.d/S10networking /etc/rc.boot/
-
-During execution at boot time, the `S10networking` script will emit some error
-messages while trying to configure the loopback interface.  These are not
-fatal.
-
-Debian GNU/Hurd doesn't currently execute Debian standard `/etc/rcS.d/*` boot
-scripts, but has its own `/libexec/rc` script -- which integrates scripts from
-`/etc/rc.boot/` instead.
