Does it happen if you install in text mode?

That's a very good idea, thank you.
I haven't tried installing on this machine in text mode.

Actually, the point at which the machine hung -
during installation of a package -
doesn't seem to gel with a video error,
but I shall try installation in text mode next.

Hi
Are we talking i386 or x86_64 ?

I have clean install of FC6 i386 on Athlon64 3200+
About 20mins for FULL install

Same here, only I figure it's too short as I had to install KDE from the
net via yum. The install dialog could be tightened up a tad to allow
installing "extra" apps from the CD. I wanted to install "everything"
yet the install only used 3 CD's of a set of 5 and I'm sure I missed
something somewhere to not be accessing the other 2 CD's during install.
Whatever, it wasn't readily apparent from the install dialog and it's
not like this is my first rodeo. Yippie ky yay, Ric
