Based on this and Steve bringing over the FC5 CDs I'm having a go at
FC. If I can get the on board sound to 'just work' then that saves me
faffing with Suse. Otherwise, I'll definitely be back to Suse.

It doesn't bode well. FC5 installation hung trying to start the X
Windows server so I'm doing it in text mode.
