Well, the crash with anaconda is still there.. but i'd installed fc2 x86_64 in text mode, and the problem wasn't there..!! also, if i install in graph mode, and just leave the default settings as they are, the install works, but as soon if i do it differend, the crash comes back... but like i said, text mode install worked, so i got fc2 up and running quite nice... thx annyway, ----------------------------------------------------- Collen Blijenberg (Montessori Lyceum Herman Jordan) Monday, May 24, 2004, 8:08:11 PM, you wrote: PB> Am Mo, den 24.05.2004 schrieb Collen Blijenberg um 09:05: >> I'm trying to install the core2 version for my >> amd-64 processor. but the installer/anacon keeps on >> crashing...!! >> most of the times it happens, after i'm finished with the package >> selection... >> it will not format my partitions, and gives errors, saying that he >> can't find the selected package's...
