telnet installation of Redhat

[Lorenzo Prince]

My server computer is connected to the internet through a cable modem.  My
laptop where I will be installing RH is connected to the server conputer.
As far as I know, the only DHCP server is through my ISP.  Is there a DHCP
server I can put on my server so my laptop can grab an IP address from it?
