It's likely that it won't work out of the box. I'd recommend setting it up to boot into run level 3 by default. The major problem would be with X configuration, so once it boots into run level 3 on his computer, reconfigure X with the right display driver, and switch back to run level 5.

kudzu should take care of everything else.

Thats the least of his problems. Soundcard, Disk controller ( incase hes using RAID ) and other peripherals behave quite weirdly if you switch the configuration.

For some reason FC5's hw detection is better during the installation then post install i.e. using Kudzu.

OP, why can't you install it directly on his PC?
