	How about a KVM switch and more than one PC in the  mix?

	For several releases of Fedora (and an older, non-USB KVM 
switch), every time I did an upgrade or install, I had to take the 
machine getting it out from behind the KVM switch and connect all three 
peripherals to it directly. If I wanted to stay online while doing one, I 
had to bring in a laptop.

	Then one time recently, I forgot -- and Lo! and Behold!, the 
upgrades worked anyway.

	Will they still, or do I have to go back to that tedious hardware 
fiddling?
