I just tried installing Fedora Core 1 from CD-ROM on a K6-2 333 machine. It has a Kyro 3D card, SCSI adaptor with non bootable CD drive, sound blaster and network card. As the SCSI CD isn't bootable I had plugged an IDE drive in to install from. The install went fine up till the end where it hung on "finishing..." (as the install was done in French I don't have the english text). The only issue was the video card wasn't recognised so vesa driver was used. OK so reset and... nothing. No BIOS screen, no hard disk activity. The only things showing any life were the two CD-ROM drives which were getting power. Power off - power on nothing the machine is dead. Any clues? Coincidence or "something bad happened during install" TM? Cheers Tony Grant -- www.tgds.net Library management software toolkit
