+In order to use DHCP, you need to install the `ifup` and `isc-dhcp-client`
+packages, and manually create the following two symbolic links:
+
+ # ln -s ../rcS.d/S06ifupdown-clean ../rcS.d/S11networking /etc/rc.boot/
+
+During execution at boot time, the `S11networking` script will emit some error
+messages while trying to configure the loopback interface. These are not
+fatal.
+
+Debian GNU/Hurd doesn't currently execute's Debian standard `/etc/rcS.d/*` boot
+scripts, but has its own `/libexec/rc` script -- which integrates scripts from
+`/etc/rc.boot/` instead.
