Is this a bad description?
Is this the wrong list upon which to post this kind of question?
Where might the right list be?
I have spent the last 2 days - RTFM'ing, googling, pushing, poking, and 
prodding with little to show for the effort.  I would like to bring up this 
computer with a Fedora Core 3 installation.  If there is no way, then fine.  
But if there is a chance...  If there might be a way to create an updated 
iso, or in some other way make this work, I would be thankful for any advice.
