I guess it would all depend on what ISO you are using then because I built a new system this weekend using 'CentOS-6.0-x86_64-minimal.iso' and upon reboot I never get anything for first boot. I had to edit my configuration files by hand to get the system online. NetworkManager is a POS and should be dropped. Of course this is my opinion and I stand by it. -- Regards Robert Linux The adventure of a lifetime. Linux User #296285 Get Counted http://linuxcounter.net/
