I Haven't tried it myself yet but this seems to be comprehensive: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/DHCP/

Do you mean that you want to start DHCPCD @ startup?

First make sure that dhcpcd is installed.

then you can add the command to your boot script(s)

Perhaps useful, is that RH uses a utility named pump to do this work. The man page is very instructive. If RH sees "through" your eth card during install, pump will be put in the init.d and run subsequently, with a line like pump -i eth0. pump -s gets full stats on your DHCP connection.Well thought out, installs the DNS addies for you, etc.
