DHCP Problem

[aalekso]

I'm trying to install DHCP server. I tried with the command line, but I'm new so it's too complicated for me! :) When I try to instal GDHCPD it gives me an error:

alekso@alekso:~$ sudo apt-get install gdhcpd

I have no idea what it is!

Thanks in advance

HAve a look at this bug (http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/system-tools-backends/+bug/294389), there is a workaround in the bug report.
