yum remove PackageKIt. Then you have to handle updates yourself.
Automatic needs to be enabled, its the notifications of availability I'd bet he is
talking about.

I knew about that, but my clue was when it asked me for a root passwd to do
something, and thinking it was a sudo question I gave it the only passwd I'd entered
during the whole install, the one I'd setup for my wife's account since I intend
to let her use it to get her feet wet. She isn't exactly "computer
literate", lacking the nearly 35 years experience I have.
And got the passwd failed message, twice in 2 attempts. At that point I knew I needed to
go fix some pretty basic stuff, and rebooted to the single mode to setup a few more
accounts and passwds.

Use the askmethod parameter to the anaconda boot. It will then ask you for
the static IP info and NetworkManager will set it.
Again, if this is something that must be done, how is a new bee to know that? The install
dvd screens did not have a release notes button on the lewer left corner as previous
versions have had. I thought that was odd also.
I also don't believe I found NM or network running when I as single user, did a
'system-config-services' to shut off the bluetooth stuff and some other nfs
related stuffs, resource wasters in a 372 megabyte machine.
