I am almost positive I used that same exact motherboard with FC7. It worked like a charm. I just stuck the FC7 boot disk in, fired it and it all installed fine (using Sata disks) - I have an NFS directory on another FC7 server that contains the whole DVD image. I did not do anything funky. In my case, the CD's are good for making more junk in the local landfill.

Hi; Just installed a new ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard. Used mkinitrd from my Fedora rescue disk to find the hardware in order to boot to Linux (Fedora). I now have to figure out how to get my WindowsXP to boot. (That's not the question; I'll figure it out or get help elsewhere) But, the manual that came with the motherboard has setup disks etc. The manual warns to do the setups and BIOS upgrades from a Windows only operating system. My question is; what do people do who only have a Linux OS? Are the setup CD's only useful to Window's users? Or, is that warning only for liability protection? -- Regards Bill -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
