Thanks for the suggestions. I did try >linux text and >linux nofb to no avail and then ended up using an adapter to a vga monitor from the DVI out and just used a standard vga monitor and it seems to be installing fine so far. I hope later to be able to get the driver working for my monitor after the full install. A separate question, If I had the choice to install Fedora onto an intel/mac rather than the G5 dual 2.7 I have now, could I be limiting my ability to grow with linux releases and functionality by staying with the non-intel chip? I am trying to avoid building myself into a box (yes..pun intended) that could raise issues in the future if those issues could be eliminated with the newer intel/mac. The overall object of this install was to turn this box into a reliable testing server for beta postgresql projects. --Joel Quoting Andy Green <andy@xxxxxxxxxxx>: > On Wednesday 01 November 2006 12:17, Jim Cornette wrote: > > > > linux text > > > Another option is to start the install with 'linux xdriver=vesa' to get > > the installation to use the vesa driver instead.
