This was exactly what I needed to get my Fedora 8 up and running. I refer back to this tutorial often when I want to add some new feature. I originally had trouble getting the Fedora DVD to load due to some needed command line parameters. Maybe a mention of this possibility at the very beginning of the tutorial would help in the future. Thank you for the excellent tutorial.
Hi,
Wait a minute! Lots of people have problems trying installing Fedora with their new computers.
I don't want to boast about it, but I am stuck. I have a q9550 processor and lots of problems. I managed to install SuSE 11.0, which sucks like hell. I can't stand the bloody thing. I want to go back to the old SuSE 9.2 Pro and Fedora 8 but unfortunately I can't install any.
SuSE 9.2 gets stuck formatting the hard drive.
Fedora 8 can't find the bloody CD/DVD driver.
If anyone has encountered these problems and managed to overcome them, we would love to hear from them.
Best wishes to everyone,
Nick
