Re: Stripes on screen after installing Fedora

[Bjørn Ivar Johnsen <bjorn.ivar73@xxxxxxxxx>]

My networksproblem are now fixed, but I still cannot install fedora.  
It just says that there was an abnormal termination or something like  
that, and just ask me to reboot, which I do, just to get the exact  
same problem next!
Am beginning to wonder that it just was not ment to be;(

 1. Should I use the "Live DVD or the install DVD?

2. How do I manually install the nvidia driver, as it seems that there  
is no other way for me to do that?!
