    I am trying to install Fedora Core 2 on an older system (AMD K6-2, 96M
    RAM)

    I can get to the very first screen when I boot off of the CD-ROM, but
    when I hit ENTER to go to the next screen after probing the hardware,
    my screen fills with strange characters like Ĝ and Ĉ, but
    they fill the whole screen. I can still see the blue background that
    is normally where it says something about checking install media, but
    I can't read what it says.

    I have tried the CD on other computers and it works fine, anyone have
    any idea why it's doing this?
