I'm now on my 4th attempt? Student had this little machine, and wanted to try linux on it. Seems to boot fine from the USB with the image, and runs the install fine, and reboots from installed system fine as well. After the first time, it seemed to have gone into Hibernation. When I rebooted, it got to switching to root, and nothing. Second attempt after wiping disk went as well, and was running the dnf update, but college internet went down, so shut system down. Again, restart seemed to hang with switching to root.
At this point, have it installed, and it has now downloaded all the updates, and is dogint the upgrade of 1169 items. Hopefully, it not lock up on the reboot. Just wondering if there is something that I might be missing. Am using the 64bit version, and system currently has 1G of Ram and 140G disk?

Fedora now disables hibernate, and you have to work extra hard to get it sort-of-working, so it would be surprising if the machine hibernates.
When I rebooted, it got to switching to root, and nothing. Second attempt after wiping disk went as well, and was running the dnf update, but college internet went down, so shut system down. Again, restart seemed to hang with switching to root.
It is not clear at all why this should happen.
At this point, have it installed, and it has now downloaded all the updates, and is dogint the upgrade of 1169 items. Hopefully, it not lock up on the reboot. Just wondering if there is something that I might be missing. Am using the 64bit version, and system currently has 1G of Ram and 140G disk?
How much is your swap?
Sorry not to be more helpful.
Best wishes, Ranjan

Isn't 1G of ram too small for a 64 bit system? Especially if using gnome. Didn't see that you mentioned what desktop you were using....
I've used Fedora in a 1GB RAM netbook but it was on Cinnamon and Mate desktops, not Gnome. Never tried Gnome in a small machine.
Cheers, Sylvia
