Welcome Screen Hangs - Fedora 3 Install


I've tried 3 different rebuilds of my hardrive today and everything goes just fine until the welcome screen comes up. As soon as I attempt to click on the "Next" button in the lower right corner the welcome screen with the license agreement hangs and I can't go any further. This happened on all 3 installs I did. Anyone know what this happens? Thanks!

Did you check the md5 sums on the ISO's before you burned them? More so, did you check media on each CD before you continued installation?

I was able to get Fedora to install but I have to use the vesa video driver. I thought it was my Nvidia video card that was causing problems so I installed a Radeon card and I was still getting the same problems until I manually changed the driver back to vesa. My machine doesn't hang but I can't run Fedora 3 using any of the manufacturer video drivers. I just think Fedora 3 isn't ready for primetime and is a bit buggy on 64 bit AMD hardware, no?

I haven't had this problem on an HP AMD64 laptop. It has Nvidia video. There were some issues but not this. I had much more problems with wireless.
