Hi all,
@Lawrence: if the screen goes black at boot time it seems it could a
video issue, does your computer have a hybrid GPU setup? You can do "$
lspci | grep -i vga" from your running system. Also, you might try
booting the ISO in the so-called 'safe' mode to reach the GUI.
I'm running F21 and my system has weird Intel/ATI setup. To boot the
image I had to do so in safe mode, install the system that way (I miss
a text installer!) then add the proper flags to the kernel line in
/etc/default/grub in order to have both CPU working as expected and
enjoy my screen max resolution.
As a side note, it would be good if you switch to the test ML as
instructed to help keep things tidy.
HTH.

not about Fedora.
Great! In that case: my car doesn't work. Do you know why?
I have a feeling it's going to be the same reason you can't
install Fedora.
I had to learn about cars. Thank you for your help.
As much as I, and others, would like to help, it's impossible to
help you if you can't explain what the problem is. "Fedora
doesn't install" is not an explanation.

If you call an auto mechanic, and you only tell him that your
car doesn't work, and nothing else, do you expect to get a
reasonable answer?
I am going to tell you a little story and then I am through
with this; I drive a 1996 Lincoln and day one day I went out to
start it and it wouldn't. I worked on that car for about 3 days
until I decided to call a tow truck to take it to the shop.
When he went to move it, it started. The problem was the
computer was stuck and all I had to do was take the battery
post off for 5 minutes and fix it. I didn't have a clue asto
what was wrong but some else figured it out because he had the
experience with a car he had. Many of you claim to have
knowledge of how to fix things but I have noticed that many of
you have no experience because this is not the first time this
has happen. I read the threads. I got a good download and made
an install dvd and install usb drive, put either one in its
proper place it comes up to the screen that says,"Fedora Live
and then the countdown starts, when the countdown is over the
screen goes blank. How would you report that?
If anyone desires to respond, thank you.
My PC has a nvidia card and my laptop has onboard video. That's
what threw me. Thank you, that worked. I just got it started to
install.
