fedora core 7 grief avoid...maybe
 

booted from FC7 DVD ISO...I have :
(1) plextor (top of the line DVD RW CDRW)
(2) sony DVD RW CDRW

as normal, I selected us..english keyboard...etc

got to a point where the installer asked:

where is FC7 DVD ISO

I selected CD/DVD where I booted from.

It searched and said "could not find FC7 anywhere!"

I tried different drives to no avail! :confused:

I remembered I had copied the FC7 DVD ISO image to my Corsair 4 GIG flash drive /dev/sdd.

So the next time I was asked, I gave /dev/sdd (different on different machines)

I did not even enter the directory...it searched the flash drive and the install continued successfully!

WHEW!

Some guy on a Fedora Forum used a USB HD. There are other possibilities!

This did not work for everybody! Return to FC6

I worry about how this will affect newbies!

Another Linux brick wall!

Also my screensaver is back to running slow. I fixed this problem in FC6!

Also sound volume is back to low level as it was years ago!

KsCD produces no sounds as in FC6,:mad:

Kaffeine, CD players get confused easily and require rebooting!

Good news is /mono/monodevelop
