  1. I don't know about the other cards, but I can tell you that the IntelĀ® PRO/Wireless 2200 Internal Wireless (802.11 b/g, 54Mbps) is supported by fedora core 4 and 5. It's really simple to install and get running -- the device was recognized by Fedora and all I needed to do was place firmware files in the right directory.

    Help: my reinstall of WinXp killed grub

    Up and running again. Incase anyone else has the same problem, I'd like to note that my post had two further problems-- hda1 actually had win-restore on it hda2 had win xp so the grub.conf needed to be changed from norootverify(hd0,0) to norootverify(hd0,1) Thanks!
  3. Hi, I had a working dual-boot of win-xp and fedora core on my winbook. Then xp broke down and had to be reinstalled. I reinstalled xp on it's partition, but then the next time I booted, grub failed to load. The configuration file grub.conf still holds the right information, but the system automatically goes to winxp. Does anyone know how to bring it back to where grub is recognized when booted? the file system is: /dev/hda hda2 fat32 (win restore) hda1 ntfs (win-xp) hda3 ext3 (linux) hda4 extended hda5 linux-swap the grub files are located in: /dev/hda3/stage1 /dev/hda3/stage2 /dev/hda3/grub.conf the grub file: no /boot partition, so all paths are relative to / boot = /dev/hda default=1 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) root(hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rghb quiet intrd /boot/intrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img title windows rootnoverify(hd0,0) chainloader +1 I get the impression that maybe windows xp overwrote the MBR and that I need to go in through FC4 linux rescue to overwrite the MBR with a grub loader, but I'm not sure if that is the right thing to do or how to do it. Thanks, Dave/Useless
