Could be, particularly if you used the graphic installer interface.  If you can, try 'text mode'.

FWIW, I've always had problems installing Fedora from the LiveCD and, so, never use them for that purpose.  Try installing from a real install DVD using the text mode interface.  It uses less RAM.


Same for me on an Thinkpad X40. Fedora 13 DVD works. I have 1gig ram though.
