I have found both how to disable rhgb (http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc3/, question 4): how would I adjust xorg.conf to use the sw pointer? Besides that, is there any advantage in one solution over the other? > I do use the ethernet controller with a n430 chipset, but not on > x86_64. As far as installing 32 bit FC6 goes it was straightforward, you mean that it is recognized and usable without passing special parameters and/or having extra drivers ready on a floppy, right? > but I haven't tried 64bit. > The nvidia driver is needed for dual head support, a 64bit > version can be found in the usual repos. Just to be 100% sure: you mean that the procedure at http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc3/#nvidia is still all you need to do right after installing FC6 x86_64 from the DVDs, right? Without first upgrading the kernel or doing anything else? Sorry for being so picky and paranoid, but I really want to have everything set straight before I do the install, and make it succeed the first time (otherwise, for personal and work reasons, I may have no time to re-do it again for weeks :-( ) The ethernet driver is what "worries" me the most, since if that doesn't work immediately I wouldn't be able to download anything else.
