With that onging saga of mine with the Gigabyte board, I tried Fedora 
core2 test 3 last weekend, it installed no gui desktop, not printer no 
cable.
wnet to reboot to windows only to find a total loss and corruption of 
hda and hdc (100gig). The ide bus had corrupted the drives and if I had
not had as sata drive I would have lost my backups too. So fedora cd's 
went into the bin.
