<para><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../dhcpcd-&dhcpcd-version;.patch
</userinput> : Dhcpcd unpatched puts all configuration and temporary
files in <filename>/etc/dhcpc</filename>. This becomes very annoying
when dhcpcd tells you it's running and it's not.  You look in
<filename>/var/run</filename> for the pid file, but it's not there, the
pid file that needs deleting is in <filename>/etc/dhcpc</filename>. This
patch brings this program into FHS compliance, but more importantly,
puts files where you expect them to be.</para>

<para><userinput>--prefix=""</userinput> : There may be a good reason for
abandoning the normal BLFS convention of using --prefix=/usr here.  If
you are installing DHCP, it is likely that it is required during the
boot process and <filename>/usr</filename> may be network mounted in which case, dhcpcd
wouldn't be available due to being on the network!  Therefore, depending
on your situation, you may want it to be installed in <filename>/sbin</filename> or <filename>/usr/sbin</filename>.  This command installs to <filename>/sbin</filename>.</para>

<para><userinput>--sysconfdir=/var/lib</userinput> : This command install
configuration files in the <filename>/var/lib</filename>
directory.</para>

<para><userinput>--mandir=/usr/share/man</userinput> : This command
install the man pages to the <filename>/usr/share/man</filename>
directory.</para>
