Question Installing Fedora on Acer Travelmate 2350


Hi All,

I'm very new to the whole Linux thing and hope you will be able to assist me.

I'm trying to install Fedora Core 5 on my Laptop (Acer Travelmate 2350).

When I boot up with the first disk I get a "broken up" Fedora Logo on my screen and If I press enter to continue with the installation I get an error telling me that the kernel could not be found.

I have used more than one set of media (CD's and DVD) and I still get the same. I thought it could be my DVD Rom / CD-RW, but managed to install Ubuntu ver 5.10.

Do yu know of any incompatibilites between Fedora Core 5 and my Acer Travelmate 2350 Notebook, or a way to overcome this?

1st of all, I am acer laptop user, I strong recommend you go for ubuntu or kubuntu, this is the only distro can make your battery/ac_adapter sensor work. The fedora, suse, mandrake, yoper, centos, redhat, gentoo all need to work hard.
And ubuntu seems work well.. at least for me.
ps. my laptop is acer aspire 1680. Contact my msn tankimsim80@hotmail.com for more detail.
