Re: Express CD Install - Freezes when running pre-installati

I tried with "text" and "mem=386m" and "xdriver=vesa" option, but none works. It keeps freezing at pre-installation scripts. As I can't see the output text I don't know if it's actually doing something, but my guess is that it just freezes.

Thanks for the help anyway!

Re: Express CD Install - Freezes when running pre-installati

My thought we be insufficient memory. Fedora 12 and Amahi requires 512MB RAM.
Is there anyway to force the install and see if it works?

Re: Express CD Install - Freezes when running pre-installati

I got exactly the same problem on a Piii 800Mhz with 384 RAM. It gets stuck on the running pre-installation scripts. Any ideas?
