says "the image which was just tested has errors. this could be due to a corrupt download or a bad disc. if applicable.please clean disc and try again. if this test continues to fail you should not continue the instal"

I just skipped the media test :P
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

I chose the base iso and installed X, OpenBox3, etc with pacman (a bit like Debian's/Ubuntu's apt-get and Slackware's package manager, which I forget the name of).  It takes a bit to get it working, but if I can do it, I'm sure you can too. :P
pkg-utils (installpkg, upgradepkg, etc..)

Yeah, just skip the media test.  It won't hurt.

Goddamn you are such a pansy.  Just do it!  Anaconda will warn if you're going to do something destructive.

I know, but I prefer to be sure of what I'm doing since my laptop is quite important....
I'm well into it now...selected what fun looking packages I wanted & am letting it "Check dependencies in packes selected for installation" ;)

I'm off and running

Thanks dude



EDIT:

Wow am I glad to be back on Windows on my laptop vs. my PPC.

I can't get online on Fedora.  What do I need to configure for it to pick up wireless networks?
I openned KWiFiManager....got scanning not possible.  'Please make sure the executable "iwlist" is in your $PATH'
? what might i change for this to work?

Also, how would I change my Windows drive to the main boot drive?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Whenever I've figured out how to compile NDISWrapper on Fedora, I'll help you out.  ;)  It'll be a fw days though.

hum, this is cool?
I'm on Fedora right now (ehternet, boo)...I've run into a few issues.

1) The fonts/text looks blurryish...:(  changed resolution down to like 800x600...stuff is bigger but not clearer:(
2) How do I change the main boot (it is currently Fedora)
     When I select the boot drive manually it has options for changing commands(?).  When I edit Fedora's commands it says "root (hd0,2)",      Other's commands says "rootnoverify (hd0,2)"....might that have something to do with boot order?
3) I receive some errors when Fedora is loading "PCI: Failled to allocate mem resource                2.04.0" & the same error that ends in "2.04.1" instead
4) How do I access that 256mb drive I created, MyndFyre? ;)  I can't find it with the FileBrowser, unless it is in the "root" folder (which I don't have access to)

Any clues?

THANKS!

1.) I don't know.
2.) There should be a system-config-boot program.  If so, go to Applications->Accessories (or whatever the first menu is)->Terminal.  Type:
su
(it prompts you for root password, enter it)
sytem-config-boot

That should bring up the GUI tool for editing your boot order.
3.) I get that too.  I dunno.
4.) Login as superuser using the technique I told you above, but instead of starting the boot config program:
cd /
md fat
mount /dev/hda2 /fat

Then, when you start up you ust log in as superuser and perform the mount command.  It will be under the Computer icon on your desktop, Filesystem, /fat.
