Bizarrely not seeing my own posts hitting either list, or anyone's replies. :-(
Anyway, fsck from Kmoppix on /dev/sda1 /dev/sda3 show OK.
QTparted shows;
/dev/sda
/dev/sda1 ext3 101Mb /boot
/dev/sda2 linux-swap 508Mb
/dev/sda3 ext3 *Mb /
I'm going to try another FC6 install, testing the media this time.
What other disk testing/formatting tools can I try from Linux rescue
disk or Knoppix?

Thanks for the tips Dan, I got some ideas of things to try off
#scotlug. Will post when fixed, citing what helped.

Yep, saw them both (suggestion: pls Cc in future to help remind each
that the other exists.)
You're best off dropping in to #scotlug and asking online.
Personally I'd start the install and then verify the various steps
manually as they happen in another console. Definitely don't believe any
errors a GUI shows you -- but that's ok because we get access to quite a
bit of the guts anyway. I guess you ran an example rpm command
manually, what did it say?
You have checked fundamental stuff have you? Like booting with a LiveCD
from the same distro and version number to see if there is a fundamental
no likee hardware.
If any of these suggestions have helped please tell the lists so it gets
archived for other people (otherwise my writing is wasted :-)
How did you get on with Sarah?
Well, in the sense that we don't hate each other, she's sure I can help
her in her business including at the earliest stages, and now she has to
decide if she's going to proceed and if so how. She's busy writing an
unrelated book for the next couple of weeks tho.
Thanks for the intro, and I've already mentioned how at one level there
could be a tie in between what she'd like to do and what you've told me
you'd like to do. Eg giving you RD ready-cooked for running courses.
