The install in both graphical mode and also text mode is failing (blank screen), even though there is DVD activity, but that shortly comes to a halt. I begin to wonder if the DVD image is faulty, or if the test version is not compatiblewith my R4000 series Presario. I will try a regular CD burn first.
Fedora Core 3 install fails also (and the CD's are good).
Laptop specs
AMD Sempron 3200
80 gig HD
768 meg mem
ATI Radeon XPress 200M (which I think may be the culprit if not the DVD image)
linux text install fails also.
Any ideas?

The following from the Release Notes fixed a similar problem for me on a
Gateway laptop:
* Certain hardware configurations (particularly those with LCD
displays) may experience problems while starting the Fedora Core
installation program. In these instances, restart the installation,
and add the "nofb" option to the boot command line.
Good luck!
