i am having a problem installing linux in my computer.
am really new to linux so i dont know any thing so far.

the distribution that i have "tummy krud 2005" witch should be a part of fedora, should have installed normally as my teacher said!!!

for some reason the instalation hangs at the beginning and it says some thing like ata-piix driver, sata promise, scsi driver. i did alot of search to figure out the problem and i think its my hard drive. i have a WD 200GB.

please advise me and be patient with me because i might not understand what you proffesionals ment. i would love to be part of this beautiful linux community

thanks alot.
