I downloaded the i386 version 9 of fedora install dvd among others,
that is the one I am trying with now, and shall certainly try that
command to see if I cant get you guys some more to work with.
This is, at the moment, all greek to me, an really do not understand
any of the commands you all are suggesting.. I only type them in as I
get them, in the order they tell me to;) It feels like some of you
think that I actually KNOW what I am doing here.. I dont!
So it would help ALOT if you would be a bit more spesifick in your
instructions;)
I NEWER expected it to be this complicated, I am just a guy who thougt
it would be fun to try Fedora instead of Windows.. So i thought it was
just a matter of putting in the DVD, and click yes a few times then
VOILA I had Fedora installed, but...

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".
Regards

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?!

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
