Well, FC6t2 is up and running. I pretty much did what I discussed in the earlier post: went into custom partitions and set my /sda1 drive to be /home and not formatted, and put the rest on /hdb - I have WindowsXP on /hda. After install, at first boot, I just chose my old user name for user and the machine came up - there's lots of problems First comments on FC6t2: Disk 4 didn't write correctly - I sha1sum'd all the iso's so that wasn't the issue - when install got to Disk 4, it just kept saying it couldn't access the CDROM; I ended up burning a second Disk 4 and that fixed that When it rebooted the first time, it returned a GRUB error 15 message and stopped - had to reinsert Disk 1 and boot into rescue mode - grub-reinstall /dev/hda got me going It seems to have a problem with the display and sound Display came up at 1650X1080 - native resolution of my monitor is 1600X1200, but that wasn't an option. It offers 1280X1024, which looks OK - at the resolution it came up as, the monitor couldn't compensate and left shifted the whole picture an inch or so - all fonts looked terrible and the whole picture was fuzzy and aliased - tried to reconfigure the display in multiple ways, including using system-config-display from runlevel 3, but to no avail. It says it can't detect the monitor or video - if I select the video button, the list comes up and it highlights the NVidia card - accepting that returns the "unkown" legend next to the video button; clicking on the monitor button yields no response. Sound configuration yields a response, and sound plays, but on next boot, I get a sound server error. All this may have been avoided by a clean install - it's hard to say -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
