Anyway - a better thing to do would be 1) Specify your hardware a) Motherboard (if you know it) b) Computer Make (if you don't know motherboard) c) RAM installed d) Maker of the video card. Use hardware browser in FC4 to get info about it. Then maybe someone might know what is going on, and may be able to make a suggestion (such an argument to pass when starting the installer) that will help your experience go a little smoother. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
