Hi guys.I'm re-posting my message as the original on never appeared on the list: Hi guys. I've been battling with installing FC2 on my machine.My installation keeps failing with a message saying "Install exited abnormally..." and then a message for me to reboot the machine.I've googled and stumbled upon a post (at http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg05225.html)with the same problem and the response seemed to suggest that it was a hardware issue.FC1 installs without a problem.I've used the same CDs on another work machine and had no problems at all.
