Re: F17 Alpha and VMWare Fusion
I tried the i686 DVD (haven't tried the live cd yet), On install I got a text installer that installed a minimal system (191 packages - no options). It did boot, but after installing KDE and X via yum, startx failed. On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 9:51 AM, Martin Stransky stran...@redhat.com wrote: Try i686 iso, the x86_64 is broken.

Try installing using the 'basic graphics' option in the 'troubleshooting' bit of the DVD boot menu. That'll make it use vesa instead of vmware, both during installation and after installation. Might work better. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
