When I first installed linux on it, it was at the time when RH7.3 was the most current and it didn't have a IEEE1394 driver at all. I found that I had to do a http or ftp install. Things may have changed since then and there may be a kernel argument that you can add but, if not, the network install does work. Unlike RH7.3, with Fedora, once you get it installed via the network, the IEEE1394 should work. You may have nudge it with a script named "rescan-scsi-bus.sh" but that's a bridge you won't have to cross until your get linux installed. Regards, Mike Klinke Regards, Mike Klinke
