[Soekris] Installing Fedora 11 on Soekris 5501-70

[Bill Maas]

Hi Casey,

I forgot to mention: you'll have a lot less (potential) trouble if you
use the Lilo boot loader i.o. GRUB. It may even make the critical
difference if you try it with one of the methods you described,
assuming that you have been using GRUB so far.
