Hi, please do not write with caps.

Why are you using fedora 8? it is deprecated and you will not get much support for it.
Try with modern fedora or other modern distribution.

Fedora 13 is currently out. That should have much better compatibility than your *ancient* F8

Good luck.

This is just an observation and not a dig at anybody down here trying to help

We see this quite often, people asking for support on an older product. Whilst I agree that in most cases we should point out that there is a newer release don't forget that there is a fair portion of the world that still relies on Dial-up and that it's not always as simple as pull down the latest copy.
