Is it etiquette on this list to top post or bottom post when replying?

No Matt, no error message. further, after more investigation it appears 
that GRUB is actually running, and if I could understand the very 
cryptic help I could possibly boot FC 3 at least, and edit the GRUB 
.conf file

No, LILO is not an alternative in the installation choices.

Thank you Alexander,

I will try again after work this evening. I have acquired a copy of 
MandrakeLive CD, so I can first load Fedora Core 3, then run 
MandrakeLive from CD to investigate.

More later
