FC2 Question/Hardware Compatibility
 

A while ago, I had Red Hat 9 on my system along with windows xp. It worked perfectly, and dual booted with grub just fine. However, then I re installed windows xp, and accidentally deleted the Red Hat partition. Now, I wanted to install Fedora Core 2 on my system, but I have 3 issues:

First of all, I want to know if Fedora Core 2 supports the Linksys WMP54G (Wireless G PCI adapter). I know that Red Hat 9 didn't, so I had to hook it up directly.

Second of all, I want to know if FC2 will support my sound (It's a Realtek AC'97 Codec - Went to the realtek website, and they have a Linux driver, but will it work with the ALSA, which I think is installed by Fedora Core 1 and later?

Third of all, I heard that FC2 is known to mess up the partition table making windows xp unbootable. Should I install Red Hat linux first, and then upgrade to FC2? Has anyone had any success doing that?

Thanks in advance (I'm kind of a Linux :newbie:, so sorry :D)

yes, the fc2 detects AC97 codecs (here in my home works)

no, the fc2 dont fuck with your pati. table, its secure install with other operating systems...

does anyone else know if the Wireless-G PCI adapter works with FC2?

I heard that it was supposed to work with the linuxant driverloader. Has anyone had any success with that?
