Has F17 been tested to see whether it will install on a Pentium 4? Recently I installed F15 because I could not get the F16 installer to boot. I can get the F13, F14 and F15 installers to boot without media. The F16 installer was a no go, both without media and with a minimal CD. In both cases, I got crashes that required pushing the reset button. I never got to tell them about the iso file.
I have done live installs to a pentium M which should be a wimpier processor. With P4s being dogs, I would expect P3 systems to work OK as well. Currently there is a check for 768 MiB of ram. This limit is too conservative now that some changes have been made to the install process. I just did a test install this morning on a machine with 512 MiB of ram and it worked just fine. I used the --no-memcheck option on liveinst. I am not sure where to put that option when using an install image instead of a live image. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
