Install problems

[shmuel siegel]

Your problem has been a very common problem for which there is not yet a
solution, just work arounds. For some reason the boot discs don't work
on everybody's machines. The easiest workaround is to download disk1 of
FC1 and use that to boot. When you get the boot prompt switch to disk1
of fc2 and continue the install from there.

That said, if you are looking for a replacement to XP, I wouldn't
recommend fc2 yet. Use fc1 until fc2 is actually released. Even if you
want to test fc2, I would still recommend installing fc1 since you might
need a stable linux system to fall back to in order to repair any
problems caused by fc2.
