Hi, Thanks for the description. In your case, it looks like it didn't even start talking, yuck! As I said, I can't do an installation until tomorrow, so I burned the first CD and went as far as the screen that asks whether you want to upgrade your existing system, or do a fresh installation. I see that Jacob was successful, so all is not lost. Can you and Steve find a way to check the md5 sum of the first disk. Nick, since you're already running a version of Fedora, you can do: /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/checkisomd5 --verbose /dev/<name_of _your_cd_device> Or, both of you can download the MD5SUM file from the same place that FC2 came from, and do: md5/dev/<cd_name>. Then, compare the results with the appropriate line in the MD5SUM file. If that comparison fails, go to the same directory containing the ISO files and do: md5sum -c MD5SUM Be ware of the case in the MD5SUM filename, it's upper. You'll get errors on files that you don't have, but you need to succeed on the ones you do have, of course. HTH. Bill On Sat, 22 May 2004, nick G wrote: > I'll attempt a description.
