The docs say that network manager is disabled by default. Mine is enabled. I have eth0 (internet) and eth1 (lan). Where do I configure eth0? Is there no way to insure rp-pppoe, bind, dhcp are installed? I will try another posters suggestion to make a local repo if all else fails. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
