Hello from the future!

I have set up a Raspberry Pi 4 with Debian/Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm and realized it wasn’t running dhcpcd. I looked everywhere for hours for help and this page explained it sooo well.

THANK YOU!

The following path is wrongly given in the following command.

$ cat /etc/network-scripts/ifcfg-enps03

The correct location is:

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enps03

@Dragonmouth,

Most of today’s latest Linux distributions using systemd to manage networks and services. I really don’t have any idea about PCLinuxOS, I never used it, but will surely give a try on my VM. If nmcli not installed, I think you can install it using a package manager.

Would that be “most Linux distributions” using systemd? I seem to recall that the Network Manager requires systemd to run.

PCLinuxOS is one of the more popular Linux distros, not some esoteric or “one and gone” distro. NMCLI is not installed by default and it is not in the repositories. No matter how good nmcli may be, it is not worth switching distros for. Especially if I have to put up with systemd to use it.
