It can be, but /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules tends to be

you may also have the HWADDR=<MAC address> option in your
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg=eth? file. That will provent
the interface from coming up if the MAC address of the NIC does not
match.
You can edit the 70-persistent-net.rules file, or you can delete it
if you want to renumber the NICs. It will be re-created for you the
next time you boot. Change the HWADDR= value requires you do edit
the ifcfg-eth? file. (Hand edit or GUI.)

After making the udev change I rebooted and it complained of a file
system error and requested fsck. It's churning through that now.
This is an old computer that I probably shouldn't even be fooling
with but I thought it might do some good and I might learn a few
things in the process. The latter part is true at least!
Thanks.

The fsck looked like it would never finish. I quit and did another
reinstall from the livecd. This time eth0 came up right and I did
the routine things to make the network connection for 192.168.1.10
and it is happily running a yum update at last!
Thanks all for the assistance.
Bob
