Hi!

As this is my first post here can I first say a big thank you to all concerned with Fedora. I am amazed by it. I have been trying so hard to find a linux system that fits me. On Fedora (6) everything works! All my hardware, printer/scanner/Ipod/digital camera....everything. I am finally on the verge of ditching Windows and more than happy with Fedora. Thanks guys.

Ok the question....During the installation it detected 2 network cards eth0 and eth1. One of them is the wireless one which I do not use. That would be eth1. Now I was not sure which one to choose so I choose them both. When I boot up the boot hangs for a long time on eth1 trying to make it work before moving on. Is there any way I can stop it from trying to use eth1?

I am sure there will be more questions, but I have found this forum answered them all without me needing to ask the same questions again.

Cheers to all! This really rocks. I haven't been this excited since I got my ipod! :rolleyes:

system-config-network
Select eth1, then "edit", then de-select "Activate device when computer starts"
then "OK", then File->Save
