In my experience so far, Fedora-11 is easily the worst, or at least the most difficult to install, of all Fedoras. Admittedly I have only tried installing it on one machine, a Thinkpad T23 with 1GB RAM. But I have tried installing in 6 ways, and all have failed. In 4 of the 6 cases, the problem seems to lie in the video driver. The video card in this machine is an S3 SuperSavage IX/C SDR card. The main symptom is that the system runs impossibly slowly, with keyboard input taking up to a minute to take effect. I should say that Fedora-10 runs perfectly on this machine, as does Windows XP. Also, when I access the machine remotely (through ssh) it seems to be running normally. My two other failures were with NFS installation (as far as I could see, the directory could not be mounted) and local install. On the later, I thought that it was sufficient for the DVD ISO file to be present on a local partition. But it seems that local installation now requires the ISO file to be dis-assembled? I guess the two questions I would be grateful for an answer to are: 1. Could I use the video driver from F-10 ? 2. Can one substitute a more basic driver for the one chosen during the installation? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
