Just an FYI. Apparently a 1GHz AMD Duron is not in the same class processor
as an Intel PII.( Minimum requirements for F-13 are PII w/ 384 MB of RAM) I
tried installing all of the way back to Fedora 8 with no luck. It just kept
stalling. I have successfully installed an old Mandrake 8.2 on it and it
runs great. Will be upgrading to Mandrake 10.2 tomorrow.
I just now got Fedora 10 installed on my old Dell laptop with a 750MHz PIII.
I have concluded that Fedora doesn't like some AMD processors. I'm curious
to know if anyone else has had problems with older AMD processors.

What kind of graphics card do you have? It might have to do with that.
I ran into the same problem with my Intel 855 chipset. This was (sorta)
fixed (more like a workaround) in the F14 beta. It just so happened to
freeze during the partitioning procedure, but had nothing to do with it.
HTH,
Hi Rod, before you give up, did you
get my post re: letting Anaconda check the media
before proceeding with install?
