Hi there --- Thanks for your reply. I did try that approach and while the initial installation did appear to go by without incident. After I rebooted the system upon completion of the installation, I was confronted with the following error message: operating system not found It would appear the drivers are loaded during the installation but are not retained thereafter.

Boot the installer using "linux dd". It will prompt you to insert a driver disk at the appropriate point. An example of the Fedora Core (>2) driver disk format can be found in a posting I made last year: http://listman.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2004-August/msg00051.html Whilst driver disks don't work in FC2 (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122952), they're OK in FC3 and FC4 (I know because I've made and used them).
