Hi All, Having installed fedora on my main system and thanks to Mark got the slow update download solved I seem to have another problem with respect to my laptop. I did a network install from my "os server" by booting with Cd1 and issuing a "linux askmethod" install. This method recognized my netgear 32 bit pcmcia card and obviously installed the os. However, on reboot although it appears the card is recognized by looking at the lights on the card, ifconfig reports that the dhcp server has done it's job by supplying the correct IP address, resolv.conf file and default route subsequent pings show I am not in fact properly connected to the network. Going into the redhat-config-network druid shows the eth0 device is there but not activated yet start at boot is checked. How can I fix this so that eth0 is activated at boot time? Thanks in advance, Phil Savoie
