[K12OSN] 4.2 problems

[Jim Kronebusch]

So far the first thing I noticed is that when I use the display manager
to enable dual head for a second monitor, then select the monitor type,
I am unable to click OK to close the window.  The OK button works until
I choose a monitor.

Second problem is one I have had with Fedore Core 1 as well.  My test
server since the release of Fedora is unable to get external network
access.  I have tried 4 known working NIC's and cannot get a DHCP
address from the outside network.  I load 3.1.2 and everything is fine,
I load any Fedora release and it doesn't work.  It detects the cards
right but won't get a DHCP address.  If is configure statics the cards
will at least become active but I cannot ping any farther than the local
interface.  It must just be a motherboard incompatibility.   The
motherboard is a DVD266u-RN from iWill.  Or maybe it is conflicting with
another device in the PCI bus.  I have tried using the onboard, and PCI
cards in 3 different slots but still no luck.  I have tried 3COM,
Netgear, Rhine, and Intel cards.  I am starting to think I am just
screwed with the motherboard and Fedora.  If anyone has had a similar
situation and a possible solution let me know.  I hate to have to run
Windows on this box because Linux no longer works (especially since my
only problem is getting to the internet).  I am going to try a
reinstallation with out the ltsp stuff loaded and see if a base install
works.

Thanks
