All working.
Problem was, I think, the old hardware I was using. Swapped out the DVD drive for another, and install worked great.
Now to have fun !
Thanks for your help

Re: Internet Install

Wait - Internet Install?

I think that's only available on Fedora 10, no?
(I don't think i have seen that in Fedora 9)
I've got a Fedora-9-i386-netinst.iso, so that should be ok.
Will give it a try anyway.
(Would be useful to know if it works)

Thanks

Internet Install

Hi
I have been trying to install for 2 days now. On 3rd DVD burn, and still failed whilst loading packages.
Would it work using the Fedora 'Internet Install' cd, or must it be installed from full DVD ?
TIA
