That seems unexpected to me. This is the full dvd installer? or a live
iso. I'll have to do another fresh install to confirm.
Yes. The same torrent dl (Fedora 10 i386.DVD.iso) that I burnt 2 copies of,
the both summed ok, but _that_ drive didn't like them. I switched to another
Lite_on dual layer drive and it was fine.

I'm pretty sure I can configure my current F10 install to use static
ip with s-c-network...when I do the next fresh install off the dvd iso
I'll make sure to test that.
S-C-network didn't ask if you want it onboot or not, like its maybe only
2/3rds there or something, but there were no errors that got my attention. I
just vim'd the ifcfg-eth0 file to change the no to a yes, service network
restart and it was then fine. Bear in mind I was doing all this in the
single user mode too. Effects of that? Don't have a clue.
