Hi
To install Fedora, I download the install x86 (32bit) and install it. In
general is a matter of clicking the "next" button - easier than Windows
in fact.
To make the help more effective, say the version of Fedora you are
using, Fedora 9, 8, ... You kernel version and relevant hardware
information that you can get running the command "dmesg | more".

Sorry, I think I said it wrong before.. I have not been able to actually
install Fedora!
I just come as far as trying to install, where I get all this error
messages.
Is there anything at all I can do to make this work now??
Seems like I have tried anything there is, and still not getting any
futher!
Could anyone please tell me exactly how I am supposed to install Fedira,
and if I have to write something, please tell me exactly how I should
proceed with that too, as I am suspecting im nit doing this right?!
Vennlig hilsen

Hello.
I have a serious problem with (all) Linux distributions included
Fedora. After installing or use of live dvd, I cannot see anything but
stripes on my screen. I have a pentium 4 with 1GB RAM and Nvidia card.
I have tried to install the latest Nvidia driver, but to no help at
all. I have tried many versions of Linux, and also both the i386 and
the one for 64, but all with the same result!!!
Hello,
You don't mention the Fedora version, but, assuming that you are
trying to
install F9 I can tell you that I had similar issues regarding nvidia
cards
(only with F9). I'm also assuming that you nvidia card is a relatively
a new
one IOW it wont need the nvidia-legacy package.
As a first, you can try to update all your system (latest xorg-
packages make
difference), also you need to install the livna nvidia drivers and then
install the kmod-nvidia package.
1. as root do (you can do this in a text console):
# yum -y update && reboot
once that computer has rebooted the graphics mode probably is now
working
ok, if not, then do the following command to try to set a graphics
mode with
a vesa driver:
# system-config-display --reconfig --set-driver=vesa
--set-resolution=1024x768
2. even if you don't have graphics mode yet, do the following to
install the
nvidia drivers from livna:
# rpm -Uvh
http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/9/i386/livna-release-9-1.noarch.rpm
# yum -y install kmod-nvidia && reboot
3. Now hopefully you'll have now a graphics mode running, if not we
have a few
more moves:
remove the xorg.conf and create a new one with the nvidia utils:
# rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# nvidia-xconfig
# reboot
4. As last resource (if at this point you dont have a graphics mode) do:
#
system-config-display --reconfig --set-driver=nvidia
--set-resolution=1024x768
5. If all fails, please don't desperate, give us more details on your
equipment and the messages that you are getting from the above
procedures.
HTH
