Hello, I finally got the fedora installation to load from a FAT + USB stick (no CD, no network.) However, the same thing I was afraid of that happened with the Live CD happens with this ISO as well. There is a message, when loading the GUI interface that says "probing video." Then when loading the GUI, there is no text, but only empty boxes of the size of the text. I am using an X61 Tablet from Lenovo. Any ideas?
When you boot try typing linux xdriver=vesa maybe that will give you a basic gui install method.
If that fails, try a text install, see this: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Fedora-Core-6-Text-Mode-Installation-Guide-43... At the boot prompt you would type "linux text". Read the text displayed by the boot screen.
