hello! i've one day of my life downloading your FC6 DVD image. i've burnt it and checked it for errors. it was ok so i "started" setup. you might wonder why the "" around started... well the graphical setup just wouldn't start.
after the blue setup screen, at the part where it says "running anaconda....." when it tries to detect my video card it only detects the manufacturer which is nVidia but not the actual card which is a GeForce 6200 A-LE. the screen goes black and nothing happens. please include the appropriate drivers for my video card in fedora 7. i really need a good opensource release because i don't have the money to buy a MS OS.
i hope you'll fix this problem.

Probably the card is too recent to have successful Open Source support for the driver. NVidia does not release specifications and/or source code to allow decent support for their products.
You probably could install the system using the vesa driver (Generic support for video) using
linux xdriver=vesa
until you get your system installed. After the initial installation, you might grab the NVidia binaries packaged up by one of the repos that has the driver. You should also be able to get this from NVidia.
There is much to find related getting a NVidia video system up and running in Linux. The most successful seem to be with using the closed source binaries.
