1) FC7 never existed, Core and Extras merged after Fedora Core 6,
everything after is just Fedora.

2) Fedora 7 went end-of-life over a year and a half ago.

3) The ieee1394 modules are *not* that hard to obtain, build and
install from source. http://user.in-berlin.de/~s5r6/linux1394/updates/

4) On a more modern kernel and userspace, you shouldn't need the
ieee1394 modules, as the firewire driver works just fine these days.
At least, it does for me.

Rather than trying to shoehorn bits on top of an ancient install, why
not put something, you know, supported, on there?
