RE: 1st reboot after FC2 *full* install

I had a problem similar to this last night, and it turned out that on screen 7 (ctl-alt-F7) the machine was waiting for me to enter setup information for Fedora.  Weird, since I’d already entered this stuff months ago.  I went through it again and it seemed to work fine after that!

 

Hope this helps!

Subject: 1st reboot after FC2 *full* install

 

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to install a full(!) FC2 installation on a Celeron 2GHZ. I didn't really had problems doing that except that, on first reboot, the machine stops on "Enabling swap space" phase.

I tried that on another machine (Celeron 2.6GHz(?)) and the same problem occurs.

I installed FC1 on same machines before with no problems at all.

 

 

Can anyone help why is this happening and how to avoid it?

 

(In fact I know a way to avoid it: First I install a (typical) personal desktop. After first (successful) reboot, shutdown and reinstall again(!). Now, I should choose Custom installation with Manually partition (keep partitions without formatting!) and finally choose to install Everything - But life shouldn't be so hard  :-)  )

 

 

Please don't tell me I don't need every packages on the four FC2 disks: I'm just a newbie to Linux (although not to Unix...).

 

By the way... How can I install *Everything* after a succesful FC2 instalation, without having to reinstall?

 

Thanks in advance,

JC
