Re: Trouble with fedora

[Ken Cooper <coopercentral@xxxxxxxxx>]

I did that, and still nothing.  Well, heres this.  When I loaded the 
setup CD on my cdrom, it wouldn't load.  It made a few noises, then just 
booted to my older version of Fedora (that I Just formatted).  So I used 
my dads cdrom, and that got me to the setup, but after I pressed "skip" 
to check the cd's, and started to run anaconda, it just failed, so I 
installed it on my dads computer, where it DID work just fine!
