Saw this one before.  Not a 64-bit system so the above seems not to be
relevant.

Missed the 2nd one.  Running with selinux=disabled already, but modified
grub as suggested.  Ran "tune2fs -O ^dir_index  /dev/hda8" (the /home
filesystem).

Rebooted - problems persist - still can't install Office 2000.

No.  Work-around for me was to boot the machine under CentOS 4.4 which
is also installed, install CrossOver 6, IE6, and Office 2000, and reboot
to Fedora Core 6.  (Seems to be working MUCH better than the earlier
kludge of trying to restore an earlier CrossOver install and upgrading
which messed up menus and associations badly.)  Not an option for
everyone.  Hope you can fix this.

Thanks,
Phil
