PXE LiveDVD?
by John Schmitt
Is there a Fedora live image that I can put on my PXE server and boot from?
Alternatively, how would I go about taking the Fedora 8 live DVD and altering so it can I can run it from my PXE server rather than from a physical DVD?
So far, my time with google has not turned up a solution for me.

Want KDE only
by Emmett Culley
I am wondering why it is not possible to install FC8 from DVD without Gnome. Even if I carefully deselect ALL Gnome packages in the custom install path, the Gnome desktop is installed and made the default.
I don't want to install any of the Gnome apps either. Except that I sometimes would like to use wireshark.
The only time Gnome is not installed is when I do not install any GUI group (server only).
So, why is it not possible to install only KDE? Why does Gnome always get installed? And... How do I install FC8 without Gnome?

DHCP trouble with cable modem
by Bryan A. Zimmer
Hello, friends.
I am not new to networking and configuring desktop PC's in Fedora and
W*ndows, but I have a problem that is at least in part due to
unfamiliarity with DHCP.
Here's the problem: I have a friend who also uses Comcast broadband
cable internet. He uses Fedora almost exclusively, unless he can't
connect to the internet, in which case he switches to W*ndows XP.. (It's
as dual boot desktop).
In W*ndows, he never has problem receiving an IP address from the DHCP
server. He just configures the interface to use DHCP and, bingo! All the
network configuration info he needs is passed right to his8k machine.
In Fedora (both versions 7 and 8), he has chronic trouble getting
connected to the internet. At boot time, the attempt to start up the
interface "eth0" by requesting an IP from the DHCP server seems to fail
about 80% of the time, even more lately. Yet I see no obvious hardware
glitches, and the software configuration is vanilla-out-of-the-box.
As his closest "guru" (I try my best), I have tested different ethernet
cables, ethernet cards, the software configuration, all fine. The cable
modem itself was swapped recently as well. Nothing has changed All the
should-be-obvious problem variables seem perfectly fine.
I suspect there is some subtlety of the hardware viz-a-viz Fedora that
is causing his "eth0" interface not to either give or receive the proper
signals to the cable modem, so the attempt to get an IP address usually
fails.
In W*ndows XP, there is never a problem. The ethernet card gets the
address and my friend is on the internet in no time flat, every time.
I have a nearly identical setup in my home, and have no problems with
DHCP under Fedora. I don't know why this is.
I am hoping and praying that one of you net config wizards can point me
rto the corrent config files or log files or online documentation:
anything that might help
thanks in advance

fedora 8 - wireless network card for x86_64
by bruce
hi...
looking to install fc8 on a dual core x86_64 system. more importantly,
looking for a nic that i can insert into the pcmia slot and have wifi up and
running in a short time!!
madwifi apparently has major issues with atheros chipset(s) on 64 bit os.
any pointers to actual cards that really work, as well as
instructions/guides will be most appreciated. i've got a handful of nics but
i can't figure out how to even get them to be fired up, so the power
indicator is on. so, i'm looking for really basic/initial pointers...
the base system is an amd dual core laptop... i i can get this up/working i
can get to the actual tasks at hand!!
thanks
peace.
