What happened with kmod-r8169?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

Nothing?? lol, I know that's the wrong answer.

terminal screen said kmodr* was installing. However, No change to the values in the OG post.

I haven't revisited the issue yet.
I was frustrated so I called it a night. I'm going to start google foo and t/e for a few hours.

side note: Every time I pull this box out of the closet and try to get it running. I give up. I'm determined to get it running this time.
