Which version of CentOS (3.0, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, etc.) were you using? Can you provide /root/install.log and/or /root/anaconda-ks.cfg to verify which selections you made during install? Are you certain this is different from RHEL behavior? I don't think it is, and I'm glad that CentOS isn't straying from their behavior. Greg
