Problem with installing Linux Fedora Core 2!??

Expand Post »
I want to install Fedora Core 2 on my system with a dual boot with Windows XP Home. XP is on first partition and I have enough space for another partition (15GB) for Fedora. So, I put Disk 1 in my CD-ROM and reboot and boot to the CD-ROM drive and the Fedora Core 2 setup screen appears......and I press ENTER for an Grapical installation! And after I press ENTER, it does the loading at the bottom screen, like a couple of lines or soo and reboots, but doesn't reboot to the next screen of the setup, instead it reboots normally to my Windows XP. Anybody know why it is doing this!? Please help, I'm new to Linux. Thanks......

Fedora core 2 is full of bugs and is extremely hard to dual boot. I dont advise it.

Hello,

With Fedora Core 4 out there, I would suggest that you work with it. My Fedora Core 3 stuff worked just great.

You might have bad media -- the software should be prompting you on where to install the software (partitioning) and making software selection choices. That should happen well before you reboot.
