Thanks a lot guys for your contribution and valuable opinions. I would like to ask one more question. That is;

Hello,

What is your distro ?
Simply use package manager from your distro to install it. Then you wiil have a default confiog which may work. Have a look at /etc/ directory to modify config

For soft installation on Fedora:
http://www.fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware
then do a:"yum list available | grep -i dhcp"
then for installation: "yum install package_you_want"

For RedHat... you may also have "yum" software to install package, else find the rpm on the net and install it with "rpm -ivh my_package" command ... last solution, download source and compile

about config see the DHCP mini howto or the previous link posted by ITintuition
