Just installed Fedora 8 from Live CD because the computer I'm using does not have a DVD drive. I sent the hardware profile to the Fedora team, so hopefully they'll bring back the multiple CD installation. Anyways, after installing it, I could not set my network to using static IP. Even after using "system-config-network" to change everything and restarting my eth0, the IP remained DHCP. It turn out that there was a new daemon named NetworkManager. I don't know if it is only included with the Live CD or not, but that thing overrides all that stuff in /etc/sysconfig/network*. So, I turned off NetworkManager by using
chkconfig NetworkManager off
That disabled the use of DHCP.
