Thanks Philipp, Using nousb, it took the system past the hostname setup. Now it freezes during network setup. And when I do a hard reboot, it autochecks the hard drive. Then I get a fatal error about the floppy not being found, because my laptop does not have one. Then, it continually spits out the same error message over and over about eth0, the integrated Ethernet controller. b44: eth0: Error, poll already scheduled. FC in general does not seem to like this laptop, I may have to switch to a different distro. Thanks again, Drew
