I am trying to install Fedora Core 4 on my IBM Pentium II, 288MB RAM, with 2 hard drives, Primary hda1(master) Windows XP , Primary hdb1(slave). When I try install Fedora 4 on the second hard drive. I failed to do. How can I fix this?

It crashes on me and I keep getting this error:

Code:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 827, in ?
    skipMouseProbe = skipmouseprobe)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rhpl/xserver.py", line 79, in probeHW
    videohw    = videocard.VideoCardInfo(skipDCCProbe=skipDCCProbe)

I fixed this problem. Solution:
when installing enter the command:

Code:

 boot: linux text headless

Can anyone tell me what this command does (linux test headless)?

thanks
