After a bunch of problems, I finally got FC2 to install...
Congratulations to all that contributed to make this the spiffy product that it looks like. It runs nice and fast!
FYI, the problems that I had, in case this makes a difference to anybody: 1. Downloading the DVD image to Windows simply refused to work. I used lftp from Cygwin, and found out later that there is a problem with GCC 3.3 that broke large files. Perhaps SmartFTP? I didn't have the patience, and just used the 4 CD images instead.
2. I encountered the problem with the /sbin/loader hang (subject of a few bugs in bugzilla). I am running a P4P800-VM motherboard with 1012 version BIOS. I found out accidently (by just walking away in disgust and coming back later!) that if you wait about 7-8 minutes, the boot of the install CD continues, at least for my hardware. Some kind of SCSI timeout?
3. I notice that pptp-linux is not included in the Fedora distribution (it is in Knoppix and Debian!) I need this because of how my ISP works. This forced me to go back to Windows to get on the Internet to hunt down these packages. I am still having a problem with routing information getting set, so my Internet connection is not working in Linux, yet...
I am right now trying to rebuild the kernel source of the distribution so I have things like NTFS enabled, etc...
