Install Fedora Core 4 On Dell Dimension 5150

I just install FC4 on my new Dell Dimension 5150 with ATI DVI out video Card and Dell 1905FP monitor, encountered some problem.
- First and biggest problem is cann't start install, when the installation progress to probe hardware, i lost display, the monitor only display a line word "2:Digital Input cannot display this video mode".I try use text mode install, it no help. I stop here about one day :(
Finally, I found a method. It is just add boot option "linux vga=771 text", and when installation prompt input some kernel arguments, i add "vga=771".
My system start to text. :) - Second, FC4 cann't drive my network card, my mainborad is Intel 945G,i resolve it by download a driver tar file from intel, recomplie and install manually.
- I must say ATI video driver for linux is so sucker than nvida.but fortunatly, we have YUM. i install my video driver by "yum install ati-fglrx kernel-module-fglrx-'(uname -r)".
My system start to X. :) But my quake4 is slower than under nvidia :(

Custom Linux Install ISO
I have used RedHat Linux from 2002, felt it very powful and stable. But every time install it, i must take 4 discs and so much useless packages install into my boxes. So i make a plan for clean install ISO. It will include below features.
- As little as possible
- Base RedHat Linux
- Easy to update
- Include my custom configuration, just like Oracle database install requirement.
