If you have a 64-bit processor, which is what you're using, you need to install the 64-bit version of FC4 test 3. http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/3.92/x86_64/iso/ Get them from that link or try one of the mirrors if RH's server is busy. FC4's i386 .isos will only work with non-32-bit processors. If your processor is a 32-bit version (such as the Pentium classes like the P4), you need to use the i386 .isos: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/3.92/i386/iso/ Again, try a mirror if RH's server is busy. You didn't specify which type of processor you're using. Linux is very picky about the processor - if you're using the wrong version of the .isos, it'll freeze like you describe. Hope this helps.
