FC4T1 installation summary

[D Sievers]

Teak,

Thank you for the reply. However, strangest thing happened... problem 
was there upon reboot after fresh install, but the next time I booted my 
machine eth0 came up no problem. And since my network wasn't working, 
there were no yum updates to fix it. A mystery, but a good occurrence 
nevertheless.

Since it worked, I didn't end up trying your suggestion, but thank you 
anyway.

Doug
