hei everyone,
after a substantially painful process I managed to get Bordeaux installed.
I couldn't upgrade so I had to do a fresh install (grr) but now it's
running.
However, when it boots and I get to the Welcome page I lose mouse and
keyboard. I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard which work even at the bios
level (without an OS running) but when FC5 gets to loading the networking I
lose contact with both.
where can I go from here?

I believe you can use the Apple disk utility to burn an ISO (aka disk
image) without extracting it all. It should burn a bit-for-bit copy
without interpreting the contents, preserving the filenames.
In any case, you can burn a rescue CD instead of disc 1. That is what I
did for my network installs, since I wanted to download the minimum ISO
possible.
