Since my last note, I downloaded the install cd again and made a new one. Now I can pass the point where I enter the linux txt speakup_synth=dectlk line. It then says loading linux vm, then it says boot failed retry? My iso immages are good as they pass the md5sum test on linux. I used Nero to burn them this time as I cannot get ccdrecord to work on my old Debian server. Debiaan looks better and better the more I fight with this. I really would like to be able to install fedora though. Rejean Proulx Visit my family at http://interfree.ca MSN is: rejean at interfree.ca Ham License VA3REJ
