What exactly are you trying to do on the Thinkpad? Install over the
existing FC5 installation, upgrade the existing FC5 installation, or
install to a partition so that you will have FC5, FC6 and Windows
cohabiting?

What exactly did Anaconda complain about? What does your present
grub.conf show? Do you install grub to the MBR or to the partition's
boot record? What does "fdisk -l /dev/hda" return. Please copy the
exact results into your reply.
