Thank you Steven, thank you Marc;
Marc: Where do I find the SHA1SUM? couldn't find it on Fedora page.
Steven: I have tried to reburn the iso image to a new DVD, same issue.
What I will try now is the following:
- The hard disk I used actually had Linux Mint on it, I just wanted to install Fedora on
top of it directly (erasing the hard disk). The idea of installing on a VM (under windows
or anything else) doesn't appeal to me, I like to have one OS. May be the fact that
the hard disk was not blank caused the problem. What I have done this morning is I used a
software under win 7 to allocate a partition to that hard disk (using a USB external
enclosure) and reformatted the hard disk.
- I downloaded the new Fedora 19. The issue I had was while trying Fedora 18.
I will try to install it tonight. Will let you know
On the other hand, Steven, I will persevere, I can see where you are coming from, to me if
you have no strong reason to have Windows, or you are not big on games then go with Linux.
However, the main disadvantage I found thus far, is that installing hardware under Linux
can be a pain in the neck. I have Brother MFC-j415w. I still cannot figure out how to
install the drivers in Ubuntu. It picked up my Laser printer immediately, but this one was
not listed. I looked on line, all I found was Hockus Pockus (rpm, deb,......). I found
myself having to learn programming just to install a printer driver, something my granma
can do under windows.

Quick question did you check the iso that it downloaded
correctly?
Fedora provides an SHA1SUM which you can check against the ISO
it might
be worth checking.
Historically for me on my computer I find it easier to install
Fedora
than the other Ubuntu derived distros due to my Raid system
which Fedora
deals with.
Cheers,

wanted to try Fedora as it looked more professional. I downloaded the 64 bit version and
wanted to install on my lap top (Acer Aspire, i7). I chose Start Fedora, the screen gave a
couple of lines, first one saying "invalid iomem size, you may face problems",
then it started to install showing the fedora logo in the middle, and once that gets
finished, it shows a cursor and it freezes, nothing happens beyond that. Any solutions out
there please. Or shall I just forget about Fedora?

Hi
Have you tried re-burning the iso image, I tried to install suse once using an image
supplied on the APC computer magazine, it went badly and failed.
I found by simply reburning the iso again, I was able to successfully
install and run with no problems. (I also used this information at a job interview which
helped me get the job).
I would encourage you to persevere with Fedora, I have been using it since version 5 and
while there have been some difficulties over the years, I like it and especially like the
people on the forum and community
around Fedora.
I think Fedora with vers 18 is showing some polish, and certainly the earlier development
Alpha / Beta vers are much more reliable and professional looking. I see good times ahead
for Fedora and its community.
regards
Steven
