The same torrent dl (Fedora 10 i386.DVD.iso) that I burnt 2 copies of, the both summed ok, but _that_ drive didn't like them. I switched to another Lite_on dual layer drive and it was fine. >> 3.

S-C-network didn't ask if you want it onboot or not, like its maybe only 2/3rds there or something, but there were no errors that got my attention. I just vim'd the ifcfg-eth0 file to change the no to a yes, service network restart and it was then fine. Bear in mind I was doing all this in the single user mode too. Effects of that? Don't have a clue. >-jef Thanks Jef. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
