After no less than three attempts, I finally got Fedora Core 2 installed and booting on an old 233 with 64 MB of RAM that I found in the garbage (!). But now, upon boot, Fedora tries to "bring up" eth0 for a long time before saying it "FAILED". Does this simply mean the ethernet adapter is broken (given that I found this box in the trash, that may well be, though it seems perfectly functional in all other ways)? Or is there a .conf file or something I need to tweak somewhere?
Did you configure the ethernet adapter? It may just be trying to get a DHCP address, and cannot find a server. Configure the network card for your network, and then try to activate it. If you don't know how to configure it or activate it, just let us know.

During the install, I chose DHCP for my network connection method. I don't think I came across any other screens for network or ethernet config. I looked around in /etc for something related to network or dhcp, but didn't see anyting obvious.
My network sitch: small home network with 3 computers on a hub (in my room) and three other computers in other rooms connected to a 4-port router upstairs. The router address is 192.168.0.1. It contains a DHCP server for the home network and it's our gateway to the internet. What do I need to tell Fedora to do to get on the network?
