hello! i've one day of my life downloading your FC6 DVD image. i've
burnt it and checked it for errors. it was ok so i "started" setup. you
might wonder why the "" around started... well the graphical setup just
wouldn't start.
after the blue setup screen, at the part where it says "running
anaconda....." when it tries to detect my video card it only detects the
manufacturer which is nVidia but not the actual card which is a GeForce
6200 A-LE. the screen goes black and nothing happens. please include the
appropriate drivers for my video card in fedora 7. i really need a good
opensource release because i don't have the money to buy a MS OS.
i hope you'll fix this problem.

Probably the card is too recent to have successful Open Source support
for the driver. NVidia does not release specifications and/or source
code to allow decent support for their products.
You probably could install the system using the vesa driver (Generic
support for video) using
linux xdriver=vesa
until you get your system installed. After the initial installation, you
might grab the NVidia binaries packaged up by one of the repos that has
the driver. You should also be able to get this from NVidia.
There is much to find related getting a NVidia video system up and
running in Linux. The most successful seem to be with using the closed
source binaries.
