Re: Unable to install Fedora 16 beta on 32-bit machine with XP dual boot

Folks,

The  original  attempt  to  install using the F16 beta failed because of a
hardware error on the DVD drive.

The LiveCD install appeared to proceed fine, but stalled attempting at the
BIOS-related setup.

I  replaced  the  DVD drive, and tried the DVD install again. This time, I
merely  turned  off LVM, and said I wanted to review the partition layout.
Once  Anaconda  assigned  the initial layout with the entire free space, I
removed  the  new  /  and  /home  partitions  and specified a new 200 GB /
partition instead. That worked fine, and gives me space for other installs
on this disk.

If  I  have  time this weekend, I'm going to try reinstalling F15 over the
F16  beta  (so I have grub 1 dual boot again), and then retry the F16 beta
LiveCD install scenario with custom partitioning, and then the same review
and fix route.
