    Guys/gals:

    The "ideal" way to disable IPv6 in a Fedora system is apparently to place
    this line in /etc/sysconfig/network:

          NETWORKING_IPV6=no

    However, I have just tested this on my router when I had to power down to
    switch UPS systems, and it appears not to work. I am unable to continue
    testing since this is a production server (so IPv6 will stay on for another
    week or so) and I'll have my test boxen back online in a few days.

    Could a few people help me test this, before I file it as a bug?

    Thanks!
