I have an Alienware 17-1 laptop that I would like to run Fedora linux
on. The laptop has 2TB of disk, 32GB of ram and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M
graphics, so I thought it would make a great development platform. I
inserted the Fedora live DVD and booted. It asked If I wanted to check
the disk, which I did. Next I started Fedora. It got to the point where
the fedora logo is on the screen, and then disappeared. The fans came
on, so I assumed it was doing something, but after about 5 minutes the
system appeared to be still in the same state.
In the past there has been an install image that is about 4.3GB large
that guides the installation. I cannot find an similar image for F21. I
have been away for awhile, so if this is well known please forgive me. I
looked at the documentation and did not see any mention.
Will Fedora work on an Alienware laptop? I though the since it was Dell
it should. If so, what is the best way to load Fedora onto it? Is the
fact that the live DVD failed telling me I am out of luck?
Thanks,
Don
