internet connection sharing
In earlier releases of Fedora, I recall this being possible but not w/o some extra work. In F12, is it actually as simple as the Redhat Magazine video suggests? Does simply creating a wireless connection enable all required elements such as forwarding, dhcp etc for sharing a wired connection out a wireless connection in ad-hoc mode?

I think you found the error in my way! I was running while I did it. I'll keep this email and refer back to it next time. Out of curiosity now, I also deleted my xorg.conf but if I leave inittab set to 5 it hangs? If I boot to 3, then init 5, it works fine? It also didn't recreate the xorg.conf file?

Phil, This is exactly what I did, I moved the file out altogether. Should I have simply removed the line in it? It recreated the file next boot with the old mac address only to still cause issues!

I read something about MAKEDEV cache, could that be the culprit?

Udev net issues
In trying to swap a motherboard for the exact same type I kept having issues with the NIC not being started (network manager was disabled). I finally found 70-persistent-net.rules under udev had the mac address of the old nic as eth0 so I moved this file out and rebooted only to see it was recreated as expected but had the old mac address? I finally edited the mac address and that worked. Where in the world would it have gotten the old mac from?

Argh, I forgot! I *may* have had some Livna ATI drivers, but that same card is
back in actually!
I forgot I moved it out from the old mobo with unused IG into a new mobo also
with some other Intel IG but
am still using the ATI addin card.
Was it Livna who used sloppy rpm packaging making rpm queries hard? I figure I
could just do a
rpm –qa --queryformat “%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}-%{PACKAGER}\n” or
something?
What's an easy string for catching all Livna RPM's to later sort through?
Good thought, Thanks!

I did run system-config-display which ended up crashing the box after I applied the settings. Looking on the web I think I should have ran system-config-display --reconfigure maybe?

Repair FC9 for new hardware
I had to replace a MOBO with a new graphics card and NIC. The storage controller is the same and the machine boots to run level 3 fine but its confused about the NIC (I know it works, I had a fresh install working out of the box) and X crashes the machine if I go to run level 5. I don't have the time to re-install (all the data is backed up though) so what's my best approach for reconfiguring this box until I can cleanly set it up again? I have never done this sort of thing before so I am a bit in the un-know :) FWIW, Network Manager is not installed, the module for the NIC is loaded, and the mac for the ifcfg-eth0 was changed to point to the new NIC. I also need to adjust the alias in modprobe.conf (forgot that, and not at wkst now) which may only leave me with reconfiguring X?
