[ale] Fedora 6 install media

[Pete Hardie]

It's libraries that prevent me from intalling - it's Apani Contivity
VPN, provided by a src RPM, and the compile fails
in F8.  Since I don't want to spend too much time for a work tool, and
I have a spare machine, I'll load FC6 on the spare
and run it there.  I've got a sufficiently good KVM switch for the 2
boxen, so it's not a big issue.
