I managed to get the installer boostrapped via a diskette boot which turned into a CD boot, entered:
linux text
The system then displayed Installing the 7aicxxxx (not sure what the precise spelling is)
After about 30 minutes of blue screen with the buttons menu on the bottom, I get
Running anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait ...
which remained on the screen unchanged for about an hour and I simply gave up.
Computer details: Dell Workstation 400 MT Pentium II, 300 mhz 40g ATA hard drive floppy, cdrom reader ethernet card
Even though the system cannot bootstrap from CDROM, I used a BootManager http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/.
I had similar problems with the FC1 load, but resolved it by using the two diskettes (boot and drivers), and loading from the network.
Does anyone have any ideas?
