FC2 T1 Installation notes: xorg, kernel 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1, nVidia TNT

[Timothy Sandel]

Here's my story on installation...

1. Signed up for the fedora-test-list and tracked the list for a couple
of days to get a feel for what I was up against.
2. Installed FC1 on my Dell Optiplex.
3. Copied the four ISO's for FC2-T1 to the hard drive (hda2).
4. Did a cdrom boot from the FC2-T1 iso and performed a HD drive
installation.
5. Custom install of about 3gb of the software.
6. Changed yum.conf to point to a lesser used mirror.
7. yum remove XFree86*
8. yum install xorg*
9. Changed the XF86Config to use the nv driver.  I have an ATI Mach64
video built-in on my Dell and an nvidia tnt add-on card.
10. yum install gnome*
11. yum update kernel*
12. Made the mouse0 change to /dev/mouse and XF86Config suggested here
on the list as the mouse quit working.

Results:
Working FC2-T1 with xorg X11 (1600x1200 @ 24bit), Gnome, kernel
2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1.

Great work folks!  Really fairly painless for TEST linux.  Now off to
start playing with some of those apps.
