[GRLUG] Hardware changes

[Bob Kline]

udev.  I see a directory called
"network-scripts,"  and in there
are ifcfg-eth0  and ifcfg-eth1.

In both scripts I see "ONBOOT=yes,"
which is suggestive,  but not what's
happening.  The boot output shows
"FAILED" when it comes to the
Ethernet devices.

Using the "configure your system"
feature,  hardware is detected,  and
then configured.  i.e.,  it works after
I do all this.  So there is something
not being done in the boot process.
