RH4 installation

You may have something. I think my release 4 is a little
old. I will try
to get the latest ISOs and try again. If anyone else has any
ideas,
please let me know. I may also try to just put an IDE drive
in and see if
that at least works.

Larry:

	I happened to have a later Fedora Core 4 set with me that I
booted
up, and behold, it would install.  That's how I new I have
driver issues.
These chipsets are new and evolving, so it's an area where
the latest
drivers are best.  Good luck.
