I've downloaded the FC4 DVD ISO and burned into a disk. And it's fine because I was able to use it to install on another computer without problems (the check test at the beginning says the disc is ok). I shared the DVD disk via an FTP Server (IIS on Win2003) with anonymous access. I was able to install on computer A (a virtual machine on VMWare ESX) booting from the "boot.iso" disk (/images/boot.iso on the DVD) and accesing de DVD disk via FTP. Then, in computer B (a real machine) I've tried to do the same thing. The computer B get an IP address from the DHCP, connects to the FTP server, get the netstg2.img image, ask me all the stuff (partioning, root password, grub, RPMs to install, etc.) until it begins to download the RPMs and installs it. But, after some minutes, and after several RPMs installed, it just hangs up. It doesn't say nothing but freezes. I've tried several times and always the same thing. Two times it stopped at kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i686.rpm. One time it stopped at gnome-python2-2.10.0-1.i386.rpm. On other computer, just to see if the disk was corrupted or the FTP server was broken, I was able to connect to the FTP server and download the two files. Thanks for your help.
