[geeks] RedHat restructure

[Kevin]

That network config stuff was just broken in 9.1 it was fine in 9.0, sucks.

I do like the fact that they let you select what you want to install all at once and then the
install process begins afterwards.  I hated having to sit there and baby the install just waiting
for a certain "series" to finish.

They have added more crap but none of it is required or even expected which is more than i can say
for any other distro.
