Fedora IP address

Decided to finish a Fedora Core 1 installation I started a while ago. I've had trouble with it reverting to DHCP even though I've stated a static IP address and BOOTPROTO=static in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.

Finally found the problem on a message board. On boot, ALL files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ are processed, including my backup-file of the original eth0 config. Once I removed that, everything worked fine.
