    Put the HD from the old pentium into your P4 and install onto that.
    Then put HD back into old pentium.
    kudzu will probably handle everything.

    Linux is good that way - especially with kudzu. Unless you build your
    kernel for a specific arch (ie athlon) it will boot any i386. I *think*
    fedora's kernel does want pentium, but I'm not positive - but that's
    not a problem for you.
