The reason it fails when you add 'dhcp-client-service' isn't because
there's a problem with that procedure, but because 'cons' only takes two
arguments and forms a pair, and you are passing three.  Use 'cons*'
instead.

    (services (cons* (slim-service)
                     (dhcp-client-service)
                     %base-services))

Hope this helps!
