Hi guys.
I've been battling with installing FC2 on my machine.My installation
keeps failing with a message saying "Install exited abnormally..." and
then a message for me to reboot the machine.I've googled and stumbled
upon a post (at
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg05225.html)with
the same problem and the response seemed to suggest that it was a
hardware issue.FC1 installs without a problem.I've used the same CDs
on another work machine and had no problems at all.
