<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have just installed Fedora 2 on a Sony Vaio
GRX-570 (1.6 ghz P4, ATI Radeon 7500 graphics, Intel pro/100ve wired network and
Linksys wireless network card). I downloaded the four CD set from a mirror and
burned the CDs. I tested the media before installation and all was
OK.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The "desktop" install seemed to go OK. When
I booted for the first time, I get the graphical startup screen that says
starting network etc. The screen then goes blank, starts X, I get a blank blue
screen with a working mouse and an X cursor and nothing else. GNOME seems not
to start. The virtual terminals are dead except for F1 which displays some
normal looking startup messages in text (no error messages). F7 (F8?) displays
the X server window which, as I said before, is blank except for the X cursor.
