This is my first posting...
In the latest LFY issue, Fedora 10 DVD is available. I could install successfully but have problem with saving Static IP Address in the Network Device Control. Anyone can please suggest what I should do now?
Thanks in advance.

You can edit the file /etc/sysconfig/networ-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 manually to assign the IP address to the interface eth0. It could be different if you have more than one cards. By default it should be eth0.

You can entry in the following format for corresponding ethernet card and restart the network

DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=208.164.186.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=208.164.186.0
BROADCAST=208.164.186.255
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
USERCTL=no

try the following command as root:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 a.b.c.d
