Fedora core 7 Installation problems



Hi Group,

I am having issues during installation of Fedora Core 7.

Following is my configuration.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Compaq Presario 6000
(LAPTOP)
Processor: AMD Athlon 64-bit
Graphics Driver: Nvidia Geforce 7600GT
RAM: 512 MB
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Win XP works fine. During the installation process, it goes fine uptil
selecting teh packages. But in the next screen, as soon as i press
NEXT, it gives error, and gives me two options:

1. DEBUG
2. OK.

Seeing this, i searched on net, and now i suspect that this issue is
because of the Nvidia Graphics driver i am having. There is no relief
after thsi point to me.

Going forward, i tried installing it using Text mode installation. To
my surprise, it went fine, and i as able to BOOT the laptop. Without
enabling any Xwindows, Gnome, or KDe it asks for a login. After
logging, it gives me shell prompt.
But here if i try doing:

# init 5 (For GUI purpose)

it simply hangs, and nothing is displayed on screen.


Please suggest me any way, where by i can use Core 7 on my laptop.

PS: This is first time i am trying to install Linux on my system.


Regards,

Swapan
