Stay tuned. It claimed to have completed, and told me to reboot, without ever ejecting the DVD, nor telling me to remove it. I pushed the reboot button, and it did -- into install mode. I stopped that, took the DVD out, and tried again. It got as far as displaying "GRUB _" in the upper left corner, and hung there. I put the DVD back, called for rescue mode, and tried editing grub.conf, in very minor ways -- removing rhgb, and little or nothing else. Same result. I tried again with the DVD, telling it to boot from local drive. This time if displayed "Booting from local drive GRUB _" -- and hung again. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
