To be honest considering its sooo OLD you're best option is backup and
reinstall.
And preferably not Fedora of all things, its too dev happy..

CentOS 5.4 will probably serve you better if you have need to run a
Linux OS on that device.

thanks..  i'm not going to use it. i have a remote access and just need 
to mount a usb drive (through a scsi interface?!?!) attached to it so i 
can copy over some stuff. i was done with redhat when they went 
enterprise and started modifying the core code


basically i just need some command lines like mkfs and such which i 
couldn't find. i'll check this part command see what it's doing...


thanks again...

In that case you should check
fdisk for partitions
mkfs for filesystem. You'd be most probably looking for mkfs.ext3 or mkfs.vfat
