FC4 is a radical departure from RH9.  There are several things that
could be going on.  First, make sure your friend's machine has enough
memory.  An FC4 GUI install requires 512MB RAM minimum.  There are other
potential limitations.  Can you describe what your friend's computer is?
We need RAM size, motherboard make, CPU type, video card type, etc.
