fedora3 & an old abit be6/hpt366 board

[wb]

by "crashes", i meant that when the install begins it never gets to the 
graphical "fedora" logo screen. it just hangs at the blue screen when 
anaconda is doing it's probing.  fixed the issue by replacing the cdrom 
drive. the old one seems to have had issues so i tossed it and got a new one. 
fedora installed and all is well.

thanks for the feedback
