Enabling the DHCP Client for Dynamic IP Addresses

If you didn't configure the ethernet interface during installation, now's the time to do it. See Configuring TCP/IP Networking.

For Linux 4.2, create a symbolic link from /etc/resolv.conf/ to /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf/: 

rm /etc/resolv.conf
ln -s /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

For Linux 5.0+, updating /etc/resolv.conf/ is handled by the standard scripts.
