Fedora Users — Re: An error occurred transferring the install...

Sorry about the html email :). It's not a download issue, I should have explained that better. I have already downloaded the DVD image and burned it and everything. It is when I'm trying to install it. I get all the way through the packages selection and everything, which if you are like me can take a few minutes, and the it goes through formatting of the partition and all that jazz where it says it's copying the install image. Then it comes back with that error, "An error occurred transferring the install image to your hard drive. You are probably out of disk space". Google-ing around for answers, I found where people have resolved this by entering one of those parameters, that I had listed, when the setup first beings. Hope that explains it better. Thanks.

Hello all,<br>
<br>
Just downloaded FC3 last night and ran across this for the first time
for me, "An error occurred transferring the install image to your hard
drive&nbsp; You are probably out of disk space".&nbsp; I used FC2, 3 test
2, and 3 test 3 and none of them gave me this.&nbsp; After doing a little
research (google-ing), I found it to be a somewhat common problem and tried
all of the suggestions I saw, which included use these on install
startup:<br> <br>
linux ide=nodma<br>
linux nodma<br>
linux allowcddma<br>
linux pcmciaallowcddma<br>
<font class="pn-normal">linux allowpcmciadma<br>
<br>
I think that is all of the ones I tried.&nbsp; Just some details, I'm using
a HP Pavilion zd7000 series laptop with a DVD 4X +- on the Intel 820x
chipset.&nbsp; Any suggestions?&nbsp; Anyone else experiencing this for the
first time?&nbsp; Thanks.</font><span style="font-weight:

1) Please plain text post 2) What image are you attempting to download? DVD? 3) use curl or the latest wget for FC2 as some versions couldn't handle a file
