Thanks Alan
I'll try and try that if I ever get that far, however I'm having even more
problems than that.
During the install just after it announces it's searching for previous
Fedora installations X hangs forever at that point.
I've tried to start in "text" mode and it crashes completely leaving a lot
of "giberish" (nice technical term) characters and informs me I need to
reboot my computer.
I haven't had this much trouble since Redhat 5. This seems more like a test
1 than what is supposed to be in fact a release candidate.
I'm running a
ASUS A8N-E
2G of RAM
Athlon 64 3400
Dual WD Raptor SATA I drives
NVidia GeForce 6600 GT video card
Installation media is fine and I've tried two different ones (DVD's that
is).

Has anyone gotten the x86_64 Test 3 to install from the DVD on a box with

Yes.
Here is the trick to get it to work.
Install as normal. (If you already have an install you can skip this step.
]:> )
Boot off the same disc in "rescue mode". ("linux rescue")
At the prompt:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
cd /boot
mkinitrd -v --image-version --nocompress initrd 2.6.17-1.2630.fc6
Edit /etc/grub.conf and add the following line:
initrd /initrd-2.6.17-1.2630.fc6
Save, sync the drive and reboot. With luck (and if you did it right), it
should work.
I had a problem with X as well, but reconfiguring the x server fixed it.
(Just follow the bouncing prompts.)
Hope that helps.
