I had a problem using the GUI installation until I selected the second option, low res installation. That enabled me to install. I then had to fix the resolution after the install was done and I had booted into the new system. You seem to be already installed, though with problems so I'm not sure this will help you. I think Sam's advice about making sure everything is correct is good. I would also update yum and rpm before doing everything else. I actually prefer working with yum from the cli for installing all the extra packages once the base system is installed. Once all the X packages have been installed, run Xorg --configure to create an xorg.conf.new in root directory. Replace the existing version in /etc/X11/ (?) with the new one. Then telinit 5 should boot to X. One way to use the DVD as an upgrade source is to copy the files from the packages directory while it is mounted to /var/cache/yum/fedora/packages/. Then, the rpms will be found before going to the web, or even if you have no network access. Faster than downloading them. Afterwards, run yum clean packages to get rid of them (or yum clean all). Not sure any of this addresses your problem, but it gives you some options. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
