Hi Group,
I am having issues during installation of Fedora Core 7.
Following is my configuration.
------------------------------------------------------------
-------
Compaq Presario 6000
(LAPTOP)
Processor: AMD Athlon 64-bit
Graphics Driver: Nvidia Geforce 7600GT
RAM: 512 MB
------------------------------------------------------------
--------
Win XP works fine. During the installation process, it goes
fine uptil
selecting teh packages. But in the next screen, as soon as i
press
NEXT, it gives error, and gives me two options:
1. DEBUG
2. OK.
Seeing this, i searched on net, and now i suspect that this
issue is
because of the Nvidia Graphics driver i am having. There is
no relief
after thsi point to me.
Going forward, i tried installing it using Text mode
installation. To
my surprise, it went fine, and i as able to BOOT the laptop.
Without
enabling any Xwindows, Gnome, or KDe it asks for a login.
After
logging, it gives me shell prompt.
But here if i try doing:
# init 5 (For GUI purpose)
it simply hangs, and nothing is displayed on screen.
Please suggest me any way, where by i can use Core 7 on my
laptop.
PS: This is first time i am trying to install Linux on my
system.
Regards,
Swapan
