Sorry. I did mention this in another message but should have carried that 
info into this thread as well.
Just frustrated I guess.  But I did have it installed on /dev/hda as fedora 
suggested and that failed to work.
Centos suggested the same thing and grub works fine with Centos.  ??

Well - everything is installed on the hard drive.  I am certain of 
that.  But for some reason fedora core6 will not install grub on this machine.
And previously, I had core5 on here (hdb) and it worked fine.  In fact I 
was impresssed with it and now am wondering why I should upgrade?

So, there has to be  a reason why fedora won't install grub on this 
machine.  But at the moment I am totally lost for any reason why it won't 
install.
