<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sent this yesterday but it didn't seem to go
through:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to install FC2 on a computer that
previously was running FC1. I downloaded the 4 iso images, burned them to CD's,
verified that both the iso files and ther CD's were good.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I run the install, I tell it to skip the
mediacheck. The install hangs for about 30 secs and then gives me the followiing
error:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So....it did that about 4 times. The system would
still boot into FC1 but wouldn't run the FC2 install. I then decided to force
the issue and deleted all the partitions on the HD. Tried the install again and
this time it ran past the part where I told it which packages to include (in a
custoom install) and got to the "checking dependencies" part when, you guessed
it, install exited abnormally.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have now tried to run the install 11 more times
and it is always right back at the first error message. It never even starts to
run anaconda. I have deleted partitions, reformatted the drive and then deleted
partitions. Nothing helps. It quites right after I tell it to skip the media
check.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am learning to hate FC2 with a passion. I've
never had so much trouble on a basic OSD install. I am seriouslu considering
just using Sun's Java Desktop (which I own and had running on this before
switching to fedora.).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions?</FONT></DIV>
