That NIC is the least of my problems (as described in the previous messages).

I first tried creating a DVD image as described in 
http://www.linuxtx.org/amd64faq.html ... my DVD burner appears not to work 
(or I do not know the magic to make it work).  OK, so lets do a harddisk 
install (it requires image(s)).  Oops, that died during the install:

Traceback of the form:

usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py line 146
 ...
/usr/lib/anaconda/harddrive.py line 163
  missing string += "\t\t\tCD#%d\n"
  integer required.

OK, so back to trying to split the discribution to make cdrom images.

To run splittree, you need to run pkgorder first and I did:

PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder 
/home/redhat/fc1/amd64/ x86_64 >/tmp/pkgorder.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder", line 184, in ?
    pkgOrder.append(hdlist[package].nevra())
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/hdrlist.py", line 390, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError, "No such package %s" %(item,)
KeyError: No such package kernel-smp

Mumble, mumble ... now what?  So try doing pkgorder for i386 (I have that tree 
also).  Running:

PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder 
/home/redhat/fc1/i386/ i386 >/tmp/pkgorder.txt

runs ... no errors.

Anyone know what is going on?
