Re: FC5 Installation turned out to be a disaster

I installed the FC5 release on Tuesday but I experienced a problem
I have never had with any redhat or fedora releases. The anaconda
could not detect my vidio graphics card. This is a nvidia geforce
FX 5200 card. This card has been detected on previous installs
(FC4). Because of this I did not get a graphical install. The
install took 2 and a half hours (fresh install). As such no
xorg.conf file was produced. System-config-display aborted. Because
of this I had no X window capability. This is totally unexceptable.

Well gee, I'll send a note to accounting to process your refund
IMMEDIATELY!

Seriously, you have obviously been enjoying Fedora. Have you filed
bug reports? Was this a clean install or an upgrade?
