 If you are going to use dhcpd, you should probably subscribe to the
 dhcp-server and dhcp-announce mailing lists.  If you will be using
 dhclient, you should subscribe to the dhcp-client mailing list.
+
+If you need help, you should ask on the dhcp-server or dhcp-client
+mailing list (or both) - whichever is appropriate to your
+application.   This includes reporting bugs.   Please do not report
+bugs in old software releases - fetch the latest release and see if
+the bug is still in that copy of the software, and if it's not, _then_
+report it.   It's okay to report bugs in the latest patchlevel of a
+major version that's not the most recent major version, though - for
+example, if you're running 2.0, you don't have to upgrade to 3.0
+before you can report bugs.
+
+PLEASE READ THIS README FILE CAREFULLY BEFORE REPORTING BUGS!
+
+When you report bugs, please provide us complete information.   A list
+of information we need follows.   Please read it carefully, and put
+all the information you can into your initial bug report, so that we
+don't have to ask you any questions in order to figure out your
+problem.
+
+       - The specific operating system name and version of the
+          machine on which the DHCP server or client is running.
+       - The specific operating system name and version of the
+          machine on which the client is running, if you are having
+          trouble getting a client working with the server.
+       - If you're running Linux, the version number we care about is
+          the kernel version and maybe the library version, not the
+          distribution version - e.g., while we don't mind knowing
+          that you're running Redhat version mumble.foo, we must know
+          what kernel version you're running, and it helps if you can
+          tell us what version of the C library you're running,
+          although if you don't know that off the top of your head it
+          may be hard for you to figure it out, so don't go crazy
+          trying.
+       - The specific version of the DHCP distribution you're
+          running, for example 2.0b1pl19, not 2.0.
+       - Please explain the problem carefully, thinking through what
+          you're saying to ensure that you don't assume we know
+          something about your situation that we don't know.
+       - Include your dhcpd.conf and dhcpd.leases file if they're not
+          huge (if they are huge, we may need them anyway, but don't
+          send them until you're asked).
+       - Include a log of your server or client running until it
+          encounters the problem - for example, if you are having
+          trouble getting some client to get an address, restart the
+          server with the -d flag and then restart the client, and
+          send us what the server prints.   Likewise, with the client,
+          include the output of the client as it fails to get an
+          address or otherwise does the wrong thing.   Do not leave
+          out parts of the output that you think aren't interesting.
+       - If the client or server is dumping core, please run the
+          debugger and get a stack trace, and include that in your
+          bug report.   For example, if your debugger is gdb, do the
+          following:
+
+               gdb dhcpd dhcpd.core
+               (gdb) where
+                     [...]
+               (gdb) quit
+
+         This assumes that it's the dhcp server you're debugging, and
+         that the core file is in dhcpd.core.
+
 PLEASE DO NOT send queries about non-isc clients to the dhcp-client
 mailing list.   If you're asking about them on an ISC mailing list,
 it's probably because you're using the ISC DHCP server, so ask there.
+If you are having problems with a client whose executable is called
+dhcpcd, this is _not_ the ISC DHCP client, and we probably can't help
+you with it.
