Hi all,
@Lawrence: if the screen goes black at boot time it seems it could a video
issue, does your computer have a hybrid GPU setup? You can do "$ lspci |
grep -i vga" from your running system. Also, you might try booting the ISO
in the so-called 'safe' mode to reach the GUI.
I'm running F21 and my system has weird Intel/ATI setup. To boot the image
I had to do so in safe mode, install the system that way (I miss a text
installer!) then add the proper flags to the kernel line in
/etc/default/grub in order to have both CPU working as expected and enjoy
my screen max resolution.
As a side note, it would be good if you switch to the test ML as instructed
to help keep things tidy.
HTH.

Great! In that case: my car doesn't work. Do you know why?
I have a feeling it's going to be the same reason you can't install
Fedora.
I had to learn about cars. Thank you for
your help.
As much as I, and others, would like to help, it's impossible to help you
if you can't explain what the problem is. "Fedora doesn't install" is
not
an explanation.

If you call an auto mechanic, and you only tell him that your car doesn't
work, and nothing else, do you expect to get a reasonable answer?
I am going to tell you a little story and then I am through with this; I
drive a 1996 Lincoln and day one day I went out to start it and it
wouldn't. I worked on that car for about 3 days until I decided to call a
tow truck to take it to the shop. When he went to move it, it started. The
problem was the computer was stuck and all I had to do was take the battery
post off for 5 minutes and fix it. I didn't have a clue asto what was wrong
but some else figured it out because he had the experience with a car he
had. Many of you claim to have knowledge of how to fix things but I have
noticed that many of you have no experience because this is not the first
time this has happen. I read the threads. I got a good download and made an
install dvd and install usb drive, put either one in its proper place it
comes up to the screen that says,"Fedora Live and then the countdown
starts, when the countdown is over the screen goes blank. How would you
report that?
If anyone desires to respond, thank you.
