Thanks to Andy and everybody else who answered my questions. Eventually, I've found a different solution for the time being. Suse 10.1 beta 2 seems to already have all the needed patches. Sure enough the installer worked without problems and so did onboard ethernet. Since I* have* to finish some long and already terribly overdue reports with OpenOffice 2 asap, there was little choice. I still like Fedora better though :-) and will surely try to install FC5 final when it's released. See you soon and thanks again W.
