Problem installing Fedora 14

Me111 · 11-23-2010, 01:50 PM

Hi All,
I downloaded the new Live CD of Fedora (Fedora 14 Live Desktop). I followed all the steps of the installation program, but after the step of partionning, it crashed all the time.
Any idea about where the problem comes ?
Thank you !

how did you partition your hard drive ? did it give any error message when crashed ?

Hi. I found the solution ! The problem was because I had two hard drives, and by default the installer was going on the first one which is already formatted. I found the answer of my problem on http://www.lea-linux.org/documentati...ller_Fedora_14 : the solution was to select "Create custom layout" in the menu, instead of the default mode. Then I selected the second disk, and the installer partitioned well all and goes to the end of install. Anyway, thank you for your answer !
