Fedora 7 Installation Problems
Hello All,
I have just installed Fedora 7 on one of my machines. During the installation process, I checked the boxes for the packages that I wished to be installed and unchecked the boxes for the packages I did not want to be installed. During this installation process, I was informed that my machine had low memory, and required the swap space to be used immediately. I was also not able to use the 'graphical installation wizard'. The installation process took approximately one hour. During the first boot-up after installation, I was not presented with the firstboot program, or the rhgb. I then logged in as root. Some packages that I asked to be installed were not, and some that I did not ask for were. I asked for thunderbird and XFCE, neither were installed. I have now attempted this three times; there were no error messages on any attempt. I downloaded the DVD iso from the Fedora official website. Thanks in advance, The Godfather. |
Better tackle that "low memory" issue first. What are your system specs? Is all of your memory being correctly detected by the BIOS?
Also, I think you can boot into Fedora in a "memory test" mode Thinking ahead, I have found it much better to install from just one CD and then add stuff using the package manager. YMMV |

I don't think it's a memory problem. I have installed other versions of Fedora on other machines with low memory - requiring swap space to be initialised immediately. These work fine. I have 184MB of physical memory and 1000MB of swap space. I believe this should be enough. |
