| | I'm currently using Fedora Core 2, which is workin great for me. But when I try to install Fedora Core 3 from my CD, it goes nuts on me everytime as soon as the GUI portion of the install starts up. I've tried installing it in text mode, but once I try to boot it stops there too. Am I using bad media or what? |

neh I know why it happens It happens because your graphics card doesn't work well.. The linux drivers for ATI and NVIDIA packed with the standard install are quite crappy. This is what you need to do. When you installed fc3 (text mode) you just boot it. But when you see grub go in to 'edit command line arguments' and you'll see a list of words, on the end of that line, add the following : <space>init 3 This forces your pc to start without X-server thus giving you text mode linux (the way it should be  ). Anyway, go to the site for your graphics card and download and install the linux drivers according to the instructions. Reboot and it should work all fine. (I had that problem too ) Note. You do need a little linux-1337-skillz to do this

Ahh, you are probably right ! Installers really should stop trying to be clever with video card drivers, and just fall back onto good old reliable generic VESA 2.0. Just in case that doesnt work, try dissableing ACPI and APIC in the bios, i found that workes wonders for faulty install disks.

Strange Error When Trying To Install Fedora Core 9
(6) Hi all, I tried to install Fedora Core 9 in a VmWare virtual machine under WinXP. I downloaded the
DVD ISO image and proceeded with the installation. When the process was started since about a

This is due to a missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media" Fine, I told to myself,
let's download the ISO image again, this time from a different server, just in case. No joy,
same error. Tried another couple of times, each one using a different server for the download. Sa....
Setting Up Fedora Core For Web Hosting
Not as easy as you might think! (0) On several occasions, I have attempted to install Linux on my computer in a dual boot format to

installed a couple of versions of Red Hat, Unbuntu, Gentoox, GoblinX, and now a couple of versions
of Fedora Core. The only thing all of these have in common is that installation is problematic at
best. While most distributions of Linux include all the required software to set up a server, I
have never been able to realy get it done. Finding where Apache's configuration....

need. Many people told me that they doesn't run Unix based operating systems because they will
