Hi Leon,
Are you using Fedora 10 Snap 3? I installed this on a laptop-based
system: the install was to an external USB hard drive which a Dell D420
laptop boots. I was not installing to the laptop's internal hard drive.
I have a 19" external Dell monitor connected to the laptop too, and I'm
using it as the primary monitor. Also, I did my install as an http
(URL-based) installation where I simply mounted the ISO image of the
installation DVD to a web directory on one of my other computers, burned
the boot.iso image to a CD, pointed Anaconda to the web directory and
let it install that way. It seems much less fussy than an NFS install,
and faster than installing with a physical DVD.
Thanks for your reply.
No, I wasn't aware of the later snapshots. I'll download it and give it
a test.
