Kind of a chicken and egg thing. I boot off of the floppy ok, type linux askmethod so I can install from net, and it hangs in same spot, reading the CD. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Timothy Murphy Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 6:50 AM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Trouble installing FC5 Joe Fullenkamp wrote: > I have tried some of the other options, like noprobe, all with the same > result.

There are half-a-dozen ways of installing Fedora, as described eg in <http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/fedora-install-guide-en/fc5/>. Personally, I would install from hard disk if I had problems with the CDs (assuming there is enough temporary space - about 3GB - on the hard disk). In my experience, anaconda has always been quite bad at dealing with different CD readers, and it seems if anything to have got worse with FC-5. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
