Did you try to install using text install? That's usually the safe way
to go when installing to older machines. I installed CentOS to "Mom's
Machine", an older P3 with crap for a video card and the darn thing
installed using graphical mode, so I was pleasantly surprised! FC7
wouldn't make the same trip though. 

Best not to top post in these parts! Thanks, Ric
