Hi,
since one year I´ve got an Acer Laptop with the following configuration:
Acer Aspire 1694WLMi
Intel Pentium M processor 760 (2GHz, 533MHz, 2MB L2 cache)
15,4´´ WSXGA+ TFT LCD
ATI Mobility Radeon X700 PCI Express With 256MB VRAM
120GB HDD
Slot-loading DVD-Dual
2GB DDR2
802.11b/g wireless LAN
Till half a year ago I tried and tried to install Fedora 5. But no chance!
It didn´t work. Problems with the PCMCIA.
IIRC the stock FC5 hanged at "starting udev" because of a problem in
the pcmcia subsystem, but that was promptly fixed. I can not remember
if the problem/patch was properly broadcasted though...
But now, I want to try to install Fedora 6. Does anyone of you know,
if
there´s a chance, that it will work on my laptop?
I think so. But I suggest you download and install the latest respin from
http://torrent.fedoraunity.org/
as it contains significative bug fixes WRT the official FC6 release
(and you will need to download less updates after the installation...)
