I know there must be an easier way to do this but I gave up trying to get my new Samsung LCD monitor to stop complaining about not running at 1280×1024. I tried several things to fix the problem but it actually made it worse. So I re-installed Fedora. Since I dual boot that PC I forgot my procedure to set up the boot sector correctly. As a reminder to me, I need to check the advanced boot options. When I get to the Advance Boot Options screen I can tell it save the boot information on the first sector of /dev/hdb1(i.e. /boot). This way I can leave the MBR on /dev/hda untouched. The new installation is running fine with the new monitor and the default settings. I eventually did reconfigure Fedora for 1280×024.
Another problem I had was remembering the correct network settings again. I use ISA on my SBS server as my firewall and it requires authentication. I had this working so I knew the correct configuration existed. I remembered to set up my Fedora box as a static IP but I forgot how to setup the proxy correctly. In Fedora you need to go into the Desktop-Preferences-Network Proxy-Details and enter the userid and pasword. Then Yum and Yum Extender will work through the firewall. You can use Firefox to go through the firewall by setting the preferences but that does not help you with Yum. Environmental variables did not work for me. Once you have the Network Proxy set up correctly, everything thinks they have a direct connection.
