The disk has two NTFS partitions, placed there by the mfg. Windows 7, FWIW. The rest of the disk is empty. t has not been partitioned or formatted, at least as far as Anaconda is concerned. Windows 7 does not see anything there, for that matter. Actually, I was attempting to create a 100GB / partition, but I don't believe that the name of the partition is significant. What I'm going to try (after I finish re-wiring my solar panel array) is to start with a 500MB boot partition, that being the default offered by Anaconda. Perhaps if we get it started, it will play nice. If that doesn't work, I'll try a Fedora 16 dsk. That worked in a similar situation on another box. The person who got stuck with the bug report on Bugzilla (https:// bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=833239, no additional info) tells me that I should be able to save the crash to a thumb drive. The box in question has only WiFi via a dongle, and it seems its too early in the process for that to be used. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
