Previous to Fedora, I had installed Ubuntu LINUX on the same system and that installed like a song. I started all over again and this time entered troubleshoot mode. I ran the memory test and it ran OK with no errors. The I ran the media test and it said something to the effect that media should not be used to install. What can the problem be.......Ubuntu did not have an issue with the media and previous to that I had Windows XP and that was running just fine. What issue is FEL installation having? There is not enough information for me, a novice with these LINUX systems to debug the problem. Can some LINUX guru shed more light on this? I'd be greatly obliged.</span><br style="font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif,sans;font-size:11px;background-color:rgb(250,250,250)">
