Hi Steve,
I tried to look for you but I can't hit the unoffical fedora faq but you may want to take a look at it.
http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/
There is an issue with some Intel chipset based motherboards (865 and 875 for sure) and yours has the 845PE chipset which
I believe was one of the problematic chipsets. The site above will tell you what kernel parameters to use at the start
of the installation.
Cheers, Scott

I checked the archives and noted that several people have had this issue with Dells
I downloaded Fedora Core 1 and burned to CD, but each time it gets an error when it tries to start. I get this error:
error 2 reading header: cpio: Bad magic
Running anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait... exec of anaconda failed: Bad adressinstall exited abnormally sending termination signals...done sending kill signals...done
I tried burning 3 different CDs (2 different brands, including one at 4x) and they all had exactly the same issue. The machine that the CD was burned on is itentical to the one I'm trying to install on. I previously have been able to run installs from Mandrake Linux, so I don't think it's a disc issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve
