I'm setting up a full server configuration on Fedora, moving it from Mandriva which sadly faces a rather uncertain future. Things are going well and I will be ready (and more familiar with Fedora) in time to upgrade to Fedora 15 in May.

What I have done so far in regard to networking setup:

I first removed Network Manager and replaced it with the network service (chkconfig --level 25 network on). That put an end to the overwriting of /etc/hosts, which now reads simply:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
24.68.238.229 access.dscvcp.org

Good for you. Did you forget to ask a question?

No, I didn't forget .... I lost power temporarily during a once-in-a-decade snowstorm out here on the Pacific Coast and everything ground to a halt, literally. No system damage done. Maybe a little to the ego???

I'll wait to see how I fare with 15 Alpha later this week.

Thanks for bringing this 'incomplete' to my attention.

I'll close this thread now and post the full details once more should they remain unresolved.

Thanks! I am enjoying 'getting inside' Fedora far more than I thought I might.
