during fedora core 5 installation you should have had the option to install grub or lilo boot loaders. I went straight from core 4 to core 6 so there may be a difference but im sure you can use the cd to repair the installation. type repair or recover or whatever when the cd first loads. it should say the correct command on the screen. from here you can install a boot loader.
