Subject: f8 won't install on inspiron 6000 laptop
An auspicious begin with fedora 8 :(
1) Tried installing f8 on i6000 using Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso.
Install gets no further than 'running /sbin/loader'
Nothing further happens.
2) Tried installing f8 on i6000 using Fedora-8-Live-i686.iso.
Everything seems to go allright, albeit a bit 'fast'.
Strange popups of an empty '/boot' window underway and later
of another window with blue icons (I didn't take note of
what). No message that '/' was being formatted, only a
message for '/boot'. Finished with message that everything
was installed. No postinstall configuration (so no user)
and cd was not ejected.
Very nice.
I checked the DVD and CD, both allright.
F8 test 3 was on the laptop and had installed with no problems!
