[SATLUG] Fedora Core 4 install issues

[Chuck]

Paul,

How long did you wait???

If you're doing an installation that is ANYTHING other than a
"Everything" installation -- checking the dependencies can take a
while.  Especially if you're on a somewhat older system.  

I was loading a Celeron 400 a couple weeks ago and I was sure the system
had locked on me during that check.  Hard booted and went thru the whole
thing again and had the same results.  I waited a while and just as I
was about to hit the button again, a call came in.  While I sat here for
half an hour talking to a friend -- it finished up and started
installing.  Man, I was red-faced!

But that was all it was -- dependencies checks.  I had deselected a lot
and selected a bunch of smaller things to add in.  It just took that
older processor a while to go thru all the checks before it was sure
that package group was good -- and it could start loading.

Try it again, and take a coffee break when it hits that point (or ice
tea break, or bathroom break -- anything that will keep you away for a
while).

    Hi, I am having a problem with the Fedora Core 4 install. I have FC on DVD
    and after I choose packages anaconda seems to die as it is checking
    dependencies. I did the media check and the disc passed. Does anyone have an
    idea as to what is going wrong?
    
    Thanks.
