FC6 Install No go :(

[Kip Thomas]

not entirely related but I was given a surprised gift in form of a Dell
Optiplex GX520.

I'm a bit shy at this point because of all the problem but I hooked up the
cables anyways.

I was too excited to see how much RAM it has...doesn't matter.  Later on I
gave it 2.5G swap.

It detected and install driver for SATA!  I felt a bit warmer deep inside.

Then the installation started and it took longer than before.  Before it
would skip quickly through all the packages and proceed to hang at
installing bootloader.

Then it's done and passed the installation of the boot loader.  I'm booted
up and logged in just fine.  I saw some error concerning SATA but it's happy
nevertheless.

Such is the state of Linux!

if there's a moral to the story, FC6 will be happy on an Optiplex gx520
model DCCY. anyone with this hardware should feel good about it.

I will try other variation of install and report
