Well, since ndiswrapper requires a non-standard 8k-stack kernel, I doubt you'll find any distro that enables it by default. I know mandriva does have ndiswrapper (and alternate kernels) in their package system, available for trivial install(configuration is another issue!) That is odd your usb drive does not get recognized. I have yet to find a USB mass storage device that FC cannot work with. > > How do I get DVDs to play in Fedora.

See this page: http://madpenguin.org/cms/index.php/?m=show&id=5971&page=3 Specifically: DAG Livna FreshRPMS Dries JPackage ATrpms Nrpms NewRPMS Planet CCRMA I usually add freshrpms and dag, then do "yum install xine" I wish that fedora would have an extremely easy way to add these repositories right after install, but alas.
