Unfortunately I have no idea what's going wrong with your Fedora Core 5 installation.
You previously stated that your main goal was to download a Fedora Core 7 iso, which should be easier using the knoppix CD then installing FC5.
Knoppix has a tool called QtParted should help out with the hard drive space issue. QtParted will show you all your partitions on your hard drive, and what format they are. If you have unformatted space on your HDD you can format it and mount it. The important part here is to make note of the partition names, like /dev/hda1, or/dev/sda1, since you'll be using this information later.
If you have a windows partition on this hard drive you'll have to be careful. If you plan on letting Fedora 7 take over the entire hard drive, you can simply format the entire drive to ext3.
At this point, you'll want to open up a terminal, and go to the directory /mnt.
/mnt should have all your hard drive partitions mounted here. If not, you'll have to create the directories and mount them
when in /mnt:
mkdir hda1
mount /dev/hda1 ./hda1
or if sata drives
mkdir sda1
mount /dev/sda1 ./sda1
Then you should have lots of space to download the fedora 7 iso.
