I tried what you suggested. It made no difference. After the
cd is booted, I select install. Then there is a little bar that goes
back and forth across the screen. You can see the CD LED blink. I
suspect software is loading. Then, the little bar quits and another bar
is shown. It is a progression bar. It moves across the screen as the
software is read from the CD and the hard drive LED is on indicating
writing the data. The bar gets almost to the end of the box when the
screen goes blank. There is a cursor in the upper left corner of the
screen. Then the video evidently leaves and the screen is completely
blank with the monitor LED blinking indicating it doesn't receive any
video. The CD and the hard drive seems to continue coping. Then all
stops. The keyboard isn't active either. The only thing left that is
recognized is the reset button on the computer. I see no indication
that anything was written to the hard drive. I also think it is strange
that the install doesn't ask for partition input from the user before it
installs. I don't think it has anything to do with the CD creation. I
suspect there is a computability problem. I misspoke before. The video
card is a S3 Trio64 board. I remember somewhere I read that memory
might be a problem. This computer has 256 meg of RAM. Is that a
problem? Even though Fedora seems to load and run, I would rather use
Ubuntu. I sure would like to get it running.
