Dav Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Ok i fianally got around to downloading fedora core 3, burnt it to a DVD and it wont install. Media check says the disk is ok, i can get as far as entering my root password before i get this error: "you are trying to install on a machine that isn't supported by this vertion of fedora core" i dont see why, my hardware seems to be supported im making a primary par!@#$%^&*ion of enought space with a swap pa!@#$%^&*ion twice the size of my ram. Any help will be apperciated by the linux people here. Quote

Dav Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Posted March 8, 2005 the install is now !@#$%^&*ed, it wont boot. it tells me there is an error on the disk and takes me to the recoveryprogram wheich ive no idea how to use to fix it. Quote
Yupa Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 What did I just say? Choose another distro. Ubuntu, if you want something up fast. Quote
Guest Guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 im not botherd about speed, what is the best thing for a linux newb like me then? Quote
Yupa Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 Ubuntu. I said "up fast", not "fast" - Ubuntu is a very fast, painless install. Quote
