    Hi all,

    I have just put together some parts to make a "computer"
    and I use the quotes since all the parts are connected and
    laying in a table, no case. Anyway here is the list:

    Turbolink pwer supply CWT-420ATX-12V/420W max
    ECS L7VMM3 motherboard XP2200 version
    VDATA 256M MDGVD4F4G2830B1C0H ram
                  DDR-333(2.5) 256M*4
    hard drive Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80G ATA133
    cdrom Toshiba SD-M1612 Ver 000 Rom ver 1004
                  DVD player
    cdrom P-BOMJC P.MJ Model 2410A-051
                  24X cd burner
    cdrom LG Model CRD-8322B Rom ver 1.03CD
    mouse Mitsumi ECM-S3902 std PS-2 2-button
    keyboard IBM Model M
    monitor IBM P200

    I just downloaded, burned and tested a 4 cd set of
    Fedora Core 2. I actually intstalled it on another computer
    just to make sure it would work.

    My problem(s) is/are when I try to install it on the above
    hardware:
    Disk 1 will not boot to the DVD player so I boot with the LG
    I get all the way to the point where it says "an error occured
    transfering the install image to your hard drive. You are
    probably out of disk space."

    I have run hd diags and ram diags and they both check out
    fine. I have tried choosing both everything and minimum and
    it happens no matter what I choose with regard to packages
    to install. I have even gotten an error message that says
    something to the effect that this Linux was not designed for
    this system and will not be installed much earlier in the install
    sequence. All the hardware parts are known good.

    Does anyone know of the tricks to getting FC2 installed on
    this motherboard?

    It installs and runs W98SE just great.

    thanks,
    charles.....
