The old version Fedora 6 is installed properly except that the Lan that the
Lan driver doesn't work. The Network setup doesn't find the right driver for
the Lan. As I read the support pages on the manufactors homepage they do
have a driver to download. The very same on that came with the mother board
but I can't compile that one. Possibly because have version that doesn't
allow the core to be recompiled. The install asks me to chose a driver for
reading the disks or to chose a drive to boot from. If I chose to boot from
the drive where the already installed Fedora is the setup fail.

To compile, you need the kernel source, kernel source ain't included in Fedora
Core, you need to create that yourself from the source-rpm or just doenload a
new source from kernel.org.

I would recommend you update the kernel, newer kernels include support for
newer hardware.
