I have finally have a bootable CDROM using the boot.iso for my 12"
Powerboook, g4, 1.33ghz....
Fedora starts the install (just by hitting enter on the "boot
screen"). I select my language, location, source (ftp), and it
connects and downloads a "Fedora/base/netstg2.img" file. It tries to
start X and I get this message:
-----
Running anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait...
Probing for video card: NVIDIA GeForce FX (generic)
Probing for monitor type: Unknown monitor

mini-wm: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :1.0.

So I checked out (doing a fn-alt-2 or something) /tmp/X.log. The line
that looks bad is:
-----
(++) Using config file: "/tmp/XConfig.test"
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)

*** If unresolved symbolys were reported above, they might not
*** be the reason for the server aborting.
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
-----
So I reboot and try again using the "linux text" option. I get to the
same point and I get this error message:
-----
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):

you may safely reboot your system

I have tried connecting to different mirrors. Any ideas?
thanks
