Hello, A few days ago I sent a message about difficulty installing K12KTSP, based on Fedora Core 1, on a Dell Optiplex. Since this is a terminal/server setup, it requires two NICs. After a great deal of Easter-egg-hunting, the problem turned out to be some sort of hardware conflict between eth1 and the video. I put in a different NIC and it works fine. The old one was ISA, and the new one is PCI.
