Solved my own problem. I was buring the ISO's unpacked and as Data CD's. errrr When all I really needed to do is keep it ISO and burn it as an image, yay!

hello,

 

I'm trying to install fc4 on my apple powerbook, all works till the installation tries to launch anaconda...

it seems to recognize (in this order):

gpu

keyboard

mouse

 

then there's an error, but the message is too fast for me to read it properly, but i't something to do with failed to launch X or something...

after that, the screen goes black, and I can only power down.

 

is there a way of launching a simple installer that doesn't need all the graphics ?

 

thanks for any help

try





 

to do a text based install of fedora,

 

pressing the appropriate F key to get help at the first boot fedora screen will give you more details

 

cheers

thanks I'll try that

 

altho the installer (unlike the debain based ones I've seen) doesn't explicitly give the option, and the only place I'm given a text input is in the booter where I have to choose c for cd...

cheers n' all
