Freeze while copying files

arosiqueh · 01-21-2005, 01:00 PM

I've tried to install FC3 but it freeze while copying files. All the process it's ok but when it begun to copy files (3%) it hangs.

My computer is an AMD XP 2800+, DFI LanParty KT400a, 512 MB and 2 HD (1 Segate and the other Samsung).

I've the same problem with another distro based on Debian.

I don't know why it happens but I've changed RAM and have the same problem.

Can you give me any idea?

Thanks.

Did you download? If yes, did the md5sum check OK? Did you run the mediacheck on install?

Do I buy a boxed source, download off the internet or buy some cheap CDs?
It's your choice! If you download, I suggest that you check the md5sums on the Linux ISO Images and make sure you know how to burn ISOs in Windows to install Linux

I did the md5sum check and it was OK.
I did run the mediacheck on install and was also OK.

I just can't understand whats wrong.

I've install FC3 before in other computers without no problems. And with that DVD I can't install it on my own computer.

Thanks.

I have had a couple of flaky DVD players, but I successfully installed FC3 on my Windows XP Pro box using it.

Perhaps you could try the linux text install or another install method (my favorite was to use the ISOs on either a fat32 or ext2 partition and use a boot floppy, I haven't read up on FC3 to see if the proceedure for doingit that way has changed) and see if you can spot an error message.

Will your hardware work?
