Hi all,

Nowadays, people are all using network on their computer.
Upon installation or later.

The fact is that Mageia doesn't have 'dhclient' installed by default 
(but available on DVDs).
It's very annoying because if your are doing a DVD installation without 
keeping it, it won't be easy to configure network as you won't have an 
easy way to install 'dhclient'.
As today, most of setup box or network configuration are using 'dhcp', 
why not installing it by default? It won't impact people who do not need 
it by will help others!
So, why not updating rpmsrate to have it installed by default and not 
only if you are configuring network?
