I've installed various versions of RHL several hundred times now, and like you, I've long since developed a routine for doing so. However, on occasion, I still make stupid mistakes when installing - I set one of my own systems up with a 168.192.* IP address rather than the 192.168.* one it should've had, and that was only yesterday !!! > I have a strong suspicion that the problem is with RH7.1.

As it happens, I've only installed 7.1 once in my career, although I installed both 7.0 and 7.2 several dozen times. As a result, I probably would not have noticed a problem with 7.1 whereas problems with either 7.0 or 7.2 would've stood out like a sore thumb. The important detail is that you now have a system that works...
