Does any one have any advice on installing Fedora core 5?

Here's a bit of friendly advise for you: if there was an error, there was probably something wrong. The text of the message might help a lot. Some more information would really help. (Read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html )\n\nDid the installation already start before you got this error? If you got to the point where you were told to eject the disc(s) and click the "Restart" button, then you probably neglected to make a boot disk or use a boot loader. If that is the case, you will need to make a boot disk so you can start up your computer.\n\nIf this error occured with the FC5 disc(s) in the drive, when you were about to begin installing, the problem is likely that the CDs/DVD you burned is not a bootable disc (or was burned improperly). Consult your burner's manual and burn a new copy.\n\nIf you need more help, you should ask your question (with the information I mentioned, and anything else you can think of) on http://www.fedoraforum.org/ a forum specifically for helping with Fedora-related problems and musings.\n(If you can't figure out what information to provide, a screen shot - or readable photo of your monitor with the error - may be helpful.)\n\nFedora is really a very easy-to-use GNU/Linux distribution and is very true to the core values of free software - freedom. There is a reason Red Hat is the #1 distributor of GNU/Linux, and that is shown in Fedora.\n\nAre there any distributions out there that may be better suited for Linux newbies? Perhaps you could try Ubuntu or SUSE. But if you always run away from a problem, you will never learn anything from that -- and if you read the article at the link I provided, you will understand why I recommend that you first solve your problem and use Fedora for a while before switching distros.

Your best bet is to follow the instructions in the manual. If you don't have them, just go to the manufacturers websites and you should be able to download them from there.\n\nalso check these links out, they might help (not trying to be funny, happens to all of us newbies):\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booting\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_%28computing%29\n\ngood place for more info: \nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/

I couldn't find a specific page which addressed this;\nhowever, I've done this sort of thing many times with\nno particular difficulties.\n\nBack up your system, put in the OS cd/dvd, execute\n"boot cdrom", follow the menus.\n\nThere are lots of advanced techniques worth considering\n(jumpstart, liveupgrade).  I've included a URL to an\narticle by Amy Rich about using Live Upgrade.\n\nAlso, you should be able to find support for this\nkind of question by going to the communities at\nhttp://www.opensolaris.org and http://www.bigadmin.com

Why don't you try the live on cd versions of most of these distributions, before you decide on the version you install? Advantages are, you'll be able to select the one whose look and feel suit you best, and you will also know your hardware compatibility with each distribution before you actually install it. \nI've been meddling around with the live on cd versions of Mandriva, Linspire and PCLinuxOS. You might even think about ease of installation, in which case you could visit www.slynux.org, or try PCLinuxOS. \nI personally am planning on installing Mandriva or Ubuntu. Will be giving it a bit more thought, though!\nA list of distributions is available at :\nhttp://www.linux.org

If you have trouble with this step, you will most certainly have trouble in completing the installation, configuration.  You will have trouble installing programs, setting user permissions and getting devices to work.  You may also have grave trouble to get it on-line.   \n\nBut GO FOR IT. \n\nGood Luck and Happy Computing!

You can't. They call the free version for personal use Fedora. Get it here:\n\nhttp://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/Download

Since you're getting the opteron, be sure to upgrade to Windows 64 bit edition.\n\nWindows 32 bit edition will work fine but it won't take advantage of the 64 bit opteron.

The list of fedora mirrors can be found at:\n\nhttp://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html\n\nQuite a few of these have cd iso for x86 and other architectures.

If your system can connect to the Internet, I would suggest you try installing from the net. Almost all Linux distros nowadays are too big for floppies.

http://linuxiso.org/\n\nIt is great I would not recomend any distribution in particular as it is just a matter of personal preference.\n\nYou have to write the ISO to a CD using a compatible program like Nero Burning ROM\n\nThere are versions which can run from the CD letting you see them in operation without having to install to the Hard Drive
