Hi. Saw your msg. I've successfully gotten F13 running on a 17" n7010 inspiron laptop. Never could get the Centos 5.5 to install from DVD. My issues: -xorg, for monitor, --ensure that i have a blank xorg.conf in the /etc/X11 dir and things seem to work ok, if i had a test xorg.conf, the display screwed up -my wireless -broadcom chipset.. -- needed to install the broadcom solution that i found via google. basically, you're patching the system to handle the chipset - my wired Attansic chipset. --once i ran the updates, it appeared to pull in the required updates to where it managed/found the Attansic ether controller when you're going to install, i'd recommend having a cheap usb wireless adapter that the OS will recognize. this will always get you the net connection when you're troubleshooting. -peace On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 3:36 AM, sumatheja <sumatheja@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi All, > I need some suggestion on installing fedora 13 on my new dell > inspiron n5010.
