Error while installing FC4


When I was installing FC4-disk1, I got to the part were you make a admin password. Well a error came up saying that there was a possible bug

i save this code to a floppy disk.. and it is 28 pages long!!

Should I try installing FC4 again?

I would try again, and if it failed I would check the md5sum. Sounds to me like it may be a bad burn. If not, and if you can bypass that portion of the setup, you may be able to set up a root password later using "passwd root" as the root user. (Therein lies the paradox - you have to BE the root user.) However, should FC4 boot and default the lack of password to a BLANK password, then you can log in from the commandline and change the password. Looks something like this....

login: root
password: [hit enter]
#: passwd root
New UNIX password: [enter password here]
Repeat UNIX password : [enter the same password as above]
password set!
#


good luck
