Just installed F9 clean on a system with a 3GHz P3 / 3Gb RAM. Install

I specified that in the setup. Also, even when I start it, the YUM
updater never updates. It finds the updates, but when I select the
"update" button, nothing happens.

Ideas?

Yeah, basically got the same problem, setting from network dialog
don't seem to hold on a reboot. Solved problem by using ifconfig/route
command in a new script in /etc/rc5.d

Like:
vi /etc/rc5.d/S99ResetNet

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.10 up
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 down
/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.2.3

If you use 'yum update' or yumex, that will work for the updates
