Yes, you can manually pass an ip address instead of using DHCP
Fedora has this really cool thing called an 'Installation Guide'
Base URL
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/install-guide/fc6/
Manual configured IP at 'boot' prompt
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/install-guide/fc6/en/ap-admin-options.html#sn-boot-options-network
Manual configured IP at 'ask method'
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/install-guide/fc6/en/sn-install-tcpip-config.html
Note to Lonnie...the reference to the extra time it takes for ipv4 &
ipv6 is on this last reference
