Smith, Herb wrote: http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/fedora.redhat/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i 386/os/images/ Yes I found a site with the boot.iso stuff and put it on a cd. Even then I had problems and finally decided to remove the hard drives and replace them with one larger drive which was my ultimate intention anyway. Even then the livecd had trouble trying to install over an existing F-10 on that larger drive. I had to reformat it with fdisk ... Then the livecd install went as expected. I also learned a few other things I believe most of my trouble was due to an item in the BIOS setup that I had not noticed before which forced it to boot from the first drive and I had put everything on the second. I didn't notice that until I replaced the drives and went through the BIOS settings for the nth time! We get too late smart. Thanks to all for the help. Now to continue my file server experimentation.

F10 stuck at grub -
I just ran the Fedora 10 Livecd [gnome] install as I have done several times from this CDROM. All seemed to go normally but it wont boot, just begins and stops with grub and a blinking cursor at which point I can't enter anything from the keyboard. And now it wont let me rerun the live cd a second time? What do I do now?

Boot from a rescue CD (the live cd will probably work) and type linux rescue at the prompt. After getting to a prompt run chroot /mnt/sysimage and then grub-install /dev/sda. Type exit twice and the computer should reboot and will then work. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Thanks I will do as you suggest as soon as I get some other domestic chores behind me.

You can use a live CD for rescue purposes if you know what you're doing, but you have to manually mount your installed system, you don't get /mnt/sysimage automatically mounted.
