Hello. A happy, error-free report about my experiences last night. Only one small inconvenience in the install.
Thankyou for this info.

My one problem: no network. The Realtek chip was not detected. I rebooted to XP, did some googling, and figured out that I needed to download the appropriate Realtek drivers, build and install them. I put the drivers on my vfat partition (grabbing the NVidia video drivers too), rebooted to CentOS, built/installed the drivers, and then had to reboot one more time before network would work.
These may show up in the CentOS-plus items as they are worked on. One thing we might look at is using the kmod infrastructure that RHEL is using for its modules (but I have been told it is a pain in the ass to keep straight). I will see about trying to build a set of dkms modules for things as I am most familiar with this technology and its 'doing the reasonably right thing'.
Again thansk.
