looks good. only problem I see is that fedora has a built in screen shot function for the anaconda installer. Screenies wouldve looked a lot nicer than digi pics.
-------------------- These stats don't matter, suffice it to say I've spent too much money on my computer.

This thread is for questions/comments on the article. If you need help installing Fedora, help is in the Linux OS forum. andrusk - I wasn't awair of a screenshot ability in the anaconda installer. I may just go back and take some perdier screenshots.

question 1: In your guide it says that Fedora will ask you for 2 cd's but there are 3 ISO images do you burn to images on 1 cd and 1 on another
question 2: Once Fedora is installed can you go back and change the network settings? Thanks the guide looks beautiful im dling the ISO files atm |

1: There are 3 CDs. Based on the install done during the guide, you are prompted for only 2 CDs. Later versions have 4 CDs.
2: Yes. -------------------- |

Just great, because for some odd reason I decided on downloading the DVD iso of Fedora3, Ima dual boot linux and XP, this is the guide i needed, simple but effected thanx Brian
 UPDATE: OK i have a problem, the Fedora installation went fine, im using GRUB as the boot loader but everything is only in text-based, it looks nothing like in the guide I can log in and everything but its all in text mode, I chose the Gnone enviroment, also when it was probing my hardware, it failed on Video, could this be the reason why its only in text-based mode?
