My machine!!

Greetings everyone,

I am a long time fed up Windows user. I have run Linux on my computer 
before, but at that time I wasn't very computer savvy (not that I'm very 
computer savvy now either way) and didn't spend much time getting to learn 
it. My machine is a Compaq Presario 5190, and I purchased the Official 
Fedora Companion book, which came with the Fedora Core Publisher's Edition 
CD ROM. I got through most of the installation with no problem until after I 
set my root password I get a prompt that says "Your machine is not supported 
by this version of Fedora". Three years ago this computer was running Red 
Hat Linux 5.2... so what's the deal with it not bieng able to run Fedora? Is 
there any chance in hell that  I might be able to get this to run, or is 
there a version of Fedora out there that my computer will run? I don't want 
to run Window's 2000 on my computer anymore becuase I'm tired of suffering.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Robert Morrison
