Thanks for your inputs. Mike's 'usb-controller' parameter was the ticket.
Fedora-C3 dropped in _very_ painlessly, even transferring the usb controller
settings from installation for the normal boot - keyboard and mouse working
just fine, thank you.

Now I have a post-install question:
My display is an ACER AL1913 LCD capable of 1280x1024. I configured it as
'Generic LCD 1280x1024 / millions of colors', but only get 800x600 display.
What X-driver and/or settings could make better use of this display?

TIA.

 - Mills

SATA drives


on my optiplex 280 (also SATA and USB), I had to tell the kernel to load 
USB so I could use a usb keyboard and mouse. I added &quot;alias 
usb-controller usb-uhci&quot; to the kernel params and the keyboard and mouse 
work fine, and early enough in the boot process.

Of course, once the system was loaded, I couldn't do this. I had to add 
the param when the installer gave me the option (but interestingly, I 
never had trouble getting the keyboard to work when booted from the cds).
