We have a workstation configuration that we recommend to labs around the university. In the past few months we've migrated a large number of existing installations from Fedora to CentOS. Unfortunately, our current workstation setup doesn't have ethernet support in the 5.2 install kernel, which became a problem when we were creating a guide for labs to follow when installing CentOS. So, we need to ensure that the next recommended system will be supported by the install kernel as well as the post-install kernel (which I understand I can review in /boot/ config-<version>). Cheers, Ian
