A little bug, easy to resolv, right?
I remember that it was included in man of dhcpcd before.

If somebody is new to dhcpcd, he might not know dhcpcd can work with '--nodns'.

Yay for bug cross posting!
Here's what I said at http://bugs.marples.name/show_bug.cgi?id=84

--nodns and friends only work when built with dhcpcd-3 compatability, so they
don't get documented.

Currently you disable dns by using -O
dns_servers,dns_domain_name,dns_domain_search

Although that will probably be made easier in the future with a new option that
can skip hook scripts, maybe like this
dhcpcd -C resolv.conf
dhcpcd -C ntp
dhcpcd -C ypbind
as beta5 will have dhcpcd.sh split out a little.

Per Roy's comment, closing.
