Hi All,
How do I tell dhcp-client to use a DNS server of my choosing and not what comes from the dhcp server?
Many thanks, -T

You set it in the networkmanager connection config. In the IPV4 section, turn off automatic DNS and enter your DNS server address.

How about if I am, not running networkmanager?
# networkmanager bash: networkmanager: command not found

Found how to add an "addition" dns but not how to get rid of the one from dhcp-client
# nmcli device mod eno2 ipv4.dns "127.0.0.1"
upping and downing the connection still gives me
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager search netgear.com acme.local nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 192.168.250.1
I need now to get rid of the 192 dns

It doesn't work like that. You're clearly using NetworkManager because you are running nmcli.
I was referring to the Gnome network control panel, but you can do the same thing using nm-connection-editor or editing the config files or running nmcli.
nmcli device mod eno2 ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes

Ha!
Works great:
# nmcli connection modify "Wired connection 2" ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes
This did not: # nmcli device modify eno2 ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes
Thank you Sam!!!!
