Can dnsmasq work instead of dhcpd?
A partition and disk imaging/cloning program

On a Fedora Core 9 machine, i am trying to use libvirt virtual machine. It is the virtual machine packaged from Yum. It seems to have a dependency on dnsmasq. dnsmasq provides its own dhcp service which of course is a little problematic because CloneZilla is using dhcpd.
What do you do when you want to run libvirt on the same machine as CloneZilla?

Complete!
DRBL does need dhcpd, not sure the one from dnsmasq can provide the same function which dhcpd has. One more thing, /etc/dhcpd.conf is required for DRBL, since a lot of programs from DRBL will parse the file /etc/dhcpd.conf. Does the service dnsmasq use /etc/dhcpd.conf ? Or it uses another config file ?
