Subject: no luck installing alpha "Verne" in vbox
I tried a fresh install and an upgrade from fc15 with the netinstall.iso and it fails at
various stages early in the process - nothing was ever written to the hard drive in any
attempt and there were several.
I tried preupgrade after finally installing fc15 in order to upgrade it but it fails with
"invalid baseurl..." something or other.
-Update
I managed to install RC3 x86_64 netinstall.iso in a fresh VM but I'm having trouble
gettingĀ the display right. There is no xorg.conf file and no utility to write one,
system-config-display or whatever, it seems like grub2 is loading video and the display is
stuck at 4:3 1024x768 or less. It is all a bit confusing - (the VTs are not like I'm
used to either). I'm going to try writing an xorg.conf and commenting out the
load_video portion of grub.cfg see what happens.
Thanks
