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?
Thanks

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.

Are you thinking of the grub boot loader?

well, actually, not thinking. or thinking and not recalling.
too much 'trick or treat' candy, and fermented grapes w/ caramel.
yes, 'e' for edit is grub.
were in, actual, with an install dvd/cd, it is <tab> and <backspace> to clear line, then enter 'linux text' for boot a text install.
that is in the case of f8. as for f9, has it change?
i am still enjoying f8 with kde3.
