I had FC3 and FC4 before. I needed to reinstall but it wont work. Sometimes i get:
install exited abnormally
if i dont get that error i get that a package is damaged and i need to restart.
When i check the DVD FC4 it get PASSED so i tryed to download the 4 FC4 cds and i get the same errors there. I have pluged out all USB's and unneeded hardwere. I havent installed any new hardware since i installed the first time...
I have tryed to fix this F************** problem for 3 F********* days now im getting F********* angry and wanna trash my comp!!! :P
Please help me?! What can be wrong? everything?lol
There is a good possibilty that your cdrom is having problems reading the dvd/cd's
I have had that problem also.
when it say's corrupt file or whatever, keep clicking on the 'Ok' and see if it won't force read the file.
If you burnt the cd/dvd on a different drive than the one your trying to install from , it is a bad or dirty
cdrom/dvd drive.
If your using a old 40 speed drive, they will give you problems.
Can you get your hands on a newer drive and try using that?
I have the only DVD burner in my house....but my little sister have a CDR burner mayby i can try the 4 Disk Package...i tryed to install FC3 that i burned for a while ago and that worked :S strange....but still have a problem..somtimes(hmm once aday) my computer just hangs up and i cant move the mouse or anything all i can do is click the restart button :\...it got to be something wrong in the hardware but i dont know how to figure out what's wrong...hmm...the processor,powersupply,cabels hmm no clue...im thinking about buying a new computer cause the one i have now is kinda old...Pentium 4, 2.6GHz, 1024STRAM.....so im thinking about buying: http://www.compusa.com/products/prod...183&pfp=BROWSE
That PC looks fine, it's top spec anyways... Only thing I don't like is the ATI graphics. I would never install an ATI card with Linux. Nvidia's Linux support is the best!

Old?
But... yum. That PC you are looking at seems very good indeed! I've used Dells for 4 years, and found their Linux compatability a little shaky. I've had a HP for 3 years and its worked very well with all Linuxes I've thrown at it.
