	Yes, that's the part he couldn't figure out.

	Going thru it the interface a second time, I realized that you
can use "Add" from the first screen, and it's easier then doing the
copy.  Click on "Add" -> "Ethernet" -> "the card you want a second
IP on", put in the static IP you want per normal -> Click Apply.  It
will create an ethernet device named "eth0:1", which is an alias
that you can treat like an independent ethernet device.  That's
easier then the copy explaintion I gave earlier.  For the sake of
anyone searching for the answer in the future, that's much easier.

	However, your message isn't terribly useful.  He'd obviously
tried using the GUI.  I'm fairly sure that's what you mean when you
say "go through the GUI for setting up a second IP on eth0:1".
