installation problems - Help will be appreciated

[Padiyath Sreekumaran]

  Hello,
   Many thanks for the information. As you suggested I tried on another 
   Machine with S3 Trio64 card.The system prompted for language, keyboard, 
   and mouse and died during the X11 startup. What is the command to 
   install in text mode? Iam having problems with X11.
   Iam using DEC monitor. During the startup of X11 the program died.
   Perhaps I will have success in text mode. Id there a Fedora version 
   available for other graphic cards?

   Sorry for the trouble.

   With regards,
     Kumar

I'm suspecting that you might have an original TGA in there; my
original "Testing Results" posting DID mention that original TGA
cards (PBXGA-AA/BA/CA) would NOT work, since the AC-0.9 kernel
is not configured with that driver.

I did just try an old S3 Trio64 in my AS600 5/266, and it worked fine
in "text" mode.

Good luck.
