I had a similar experience on a Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop with 512M
memory. It's a 32 bit machine of course, unlike yours. I could install
FC 10, but when I tried FC11, it died about where your install does. I
also tried Ubuntu and Kubuntu live 9.04 cds. None of the current
distributions worked on that laptop.
While my solution is certainly not for everyone, I considered the
Pentium 4 in the laptop, updated the installed FC10, sold the laptop,
and bought a new Inspiron 15n (1545). I haven't tried putting FC11 on
the new laptop yet, but I bet it works just fine. (and it's not a
Pentium 4 anymore) ;)
Cheers,
Gar

Hi all;
I downloaded the fedora 11 x86_64 DVD iso image and burned it to a DVD with
k3b.
Now when I start the laptop with the DVD in the drive , the dvd spins up, and
I see this on the screen:
ISOLINUX 3.75 2009-04-16 ETCD Copyright (c) 1994-2000 H. Peter Anvin et al
Then it just hangs...
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance
