Hi all,

        I am three weeks into using Linux after using only Macintosh 
for the past 10 years. I had a computer store install Redhat 7.1. 
This 150 Pentium w/40m Ram 20gb hd should make a good first file 
server. I don't want to buy a color Video card or color monitor. I 
have a old monochrome monitor
        When starting, it informs me eth0 initalization is delayed. 
everthing else is listed as OK.
        I tried /ect/hostname in Pico and found the text:
        saying "Do not erase the lines below".
        It read "127.0.0.1 host_name. Local domain"
        Should I coment this out (#). Or replace it, with my IP and 
host name ect.?
        I am concerned about erasing it.
        *Is this likely to be the reason for "delay eth0 initalization"
        I put my info directly under the 127... line and it does not 
show up anywhere.

        It is a isa card, I read where autoprobe may malfunction. 
*Exactly* how does one go about disabiling auto probe for the 
ethernet card

        Have an extra nice Day!,
