I don't recall any suggestion I needed to, so no.

Strange. Upthread I was not specifying any interface, and it wasn't working. 
I edited my Grub stanza in menu.lst to match above, but on first try instead 
of using it as-is I deleted p11p1, and it worked. xdriver=radeon, however, 
does not on rv200. I reached the first GUI Anaconda screen, from using this 
cmdline:

repo=http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/fedora/development/17/i386/os 
ip=192.168.1.2::192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0:m7ncd::none nameserver=192.168.1.1 
rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 splash=verbose noipv6 selinux=0 resolution=1152x864 
vga=791 nofirewire

X.log shows 1152x864 as an available mode (but not a "built-in" mode). 
Anaconda is using 1280x1024, having shifted up to a higher resolution, 
resulting in tinier text than wanted instead of back to 1024x768 which would 
be more usable. So next I need to figure out how to get bigger Anaconda fonts 
in the resolution it thinks I should use, a problem plaguing me for several 
releases....
