Hi;
An old lesson re-learned for the umpteenth time.
Public Service Announcement
---------------------------
Last week I upgraded the MY machine to F12 with preupgrade etc. No
problem. This weekend I set out to install from the Fedora 12 LiveCD on
to two other older machines I have here. On the first machine
everything worked the way it should.
On the second machine nothing would work right. I won't embarrass
myself further by listing all of normal and dumb things I tried over
eight hours to get the LiveCD working and installing. I took a break
and had a nice dinner then came back to machine #2. Just on the
off-chance I cleaned the LiveCD disk -- and bingo everything worked.
It turns out CD drive on machine #1 was not sensitive to gunk or smudges
on the CD. Machine #2's CD drive was.
No need for a reply.
I just thought I might pass on a useful reminder about checking your
disks first when in the throws of frustration while using disks that
should work but won't.
