I found that when trying to install RH7.2, when the ctc0 device is loaded, it
is set with an enormously high MTU value. After setting it down to the 1492 I
was using on the other end, it worked fine, though I had a problem later on
when anaconda got loaded. It displayed the language selection screen and then
went belly up (as in it was not responding to any keyboard input whatsoever).
I went back to using rhsetup and that worked fine. When I have more time, I'll
check into that anaconda issue a bit more probably.
So... the trick is to use ifconfig ctc0 mtu xxxx right before you start loader
or rhsetup, and you'll be fine.
