I have a Tyan Tiger 133 dual P3 that had been running FC2 for quite a

decided to upgrade to FC6. That didnt work. I tried to install FC4, FC5,
and FC6 and none of the above will install. Amoung many problems, it wont
detect the ATI card and says 'presume headless'. Is it hopeless?

That's not enough information. Just try to install FC6. It should
install using a basic vga driver. You'll get 640x480 resolution but
FC6 should install. Don't remember the installation menus but pick the
most basic options. Also, make sure your bios isn't using unusual values.

Post specific errors and dialog. "presume headless" doesn't ring a bell.
