Im a linux newb. Figured I would install fedora. I downloaded the version 7 test 4. Got through all the configuration options and it started to install, first time it froze on the 160th something install element. Some font settings I think. The second time much earlier on. So I decided maybe the test 4 was no good, so I went back and downloaded the final version of 6. Froze two times while installing the files. If tried different combinations of configuration settings. Seems like no matter what I do it wont install. Any suggestions?
1) Good CDs? Maybe burn at a slower rate?
2) Good CD drive? I have a problem on one pc where the cd drive is bad. I can install the debian minimal install and that is about it before the bugger locks up.
I am unsure from there. I have seen bad harddrives cause a problem. And I have seen bad drivers pose threats.
Sorry. Is there a more advanced window you can watch while it installs? One that may tell what is being installed, unpacked, or whatever? That may show an error or stack trace.

had the same prob. with centos5. it installed well on an older PC with an old sata controller, but on a new mb it didn't want to install, popping up different errors every time. bought a cheapo SiS sata card and it fixed everything
