***Quotation are for lack of a better word.****

Summary: Newbie, with GUI FEDORA CORE 2 installed, trying to run as a server to host a website. Just recently tried to install update to fedora 5, however grub has corrupted BIOS and I'm unable to boot from cd. Now, I'm at the point....where i just need to know where to go from here.

In "detail":
-The steps I've taken to solve booting form cd:
******Fedora Core 5 iso****
1. changed boot sequence
2. changed the cd drive
3 stopped using the usb keyboard/mouse->I read about how the motherboard or processor or whatever, can't keep up with the keyboards and mice that use the usb port.<- Which took me to the point were the start up screen displays a " I'm trying to boot from the cd now message." Soon after a " Failure to boot" appears and I'm take to the grub screen.

-Hosting site:
1. installed the server version fedora 2
2. tried to access network, FAILURE
3. I'm not sure if my NIC is bad, but there is a light that comes on when connect the cat5.
4. ifconfig show some network stuff that of course I don't understand.

I just need to know some advice. Or a place to find the information. Something

I just read the other threads as well, this is my first time with forum I'm just bustin all kinds if cherries, HA HA...

But seriously, I'm actually trying to do the same thing as thread starter Darthomir. And that is run server without GUI and ssh in from my windows box.
