Hi, I have Fedora Core 2. It always locked up, and it especially seemed to happen when I tried to configure my network card. I was very frustrated with it. I couldn't connect to the internet to download an update. Also, the mouse would freeze heaps and the keyboard didn't always work.

I had a look further along in my text book and found how to configure your network card in the BASH shell. Here is it:

[root@server1_root]# ifconfig etho0 3.4.5.6 netmask 255.0.0.0 broadcast 23.255.255.255 (The etho is your network card and the 3.4.5.6 can be whatever your IP address is)

I them typed in the yum command as such:

[root@root]# yum update

And now it's all well and working and NOT locking up.

So remember if you can't connect to the internet in the GUI, try the BASH shell. It works!

Thanks
:-)
