I have attempted to do the install with the Office/Productivity box unchecked, and it did not hang on any other package. I have also attempted a completely default install, and it hangs on the openoffice.org-core package. I gave it a little over an hour before I just turned off the computer. I calculated that a 213MB file would take less than 3 minutes to transfer at 10Mbps, and I can't see it taking over 3 hours to install, so I'm guessing it has got to be a problem with the package or the installer. Could this be an issue with a default setting somewhere for Apache? At the moment, I have just left it at its default settings (because they seemed to work perfectly). I'm running the latest httpd from Fedora Core 6's repository. It doesn't seem likely, as it shouldn't take it so long to transfer the file that it would time out, but it is also the largest package I noticed (though I wasn't watching every one). If I'm not the only one experiencing this kind of problem, then I hope it can be worked out. I'm just wondering what kind of fix would be made available, as I don't know what your policy is on redoing a stable ISO release. Please let me know if there's anything I can try to help further troubleshoot this. Thanks for any input/help, Gideon Mayhak I configured a quick FTP server and tried doing it via FTP and it still froze on the OOo package. I have now burned the rescue CD (instead of just the boot.iso disc) and it has made it past the package! I don't know what it would've been, but at least it's working with the rescue CD. I know I didn't receive any replies, but thanks anyway for this great distro! Thanks again, Gideon Mayhak G3 iMacs are really really really old and slow for Fedora now. I have one here and I can only get it to install up to Fedora Core 5 and for that it takes about 12 to 14 hours. And then it usually crashes. I have heard reports of people installing FC4 or earlier and slowly using yum to step it up through each release (4 to 5, 5 to 6, 6 to 7), but even then you have to manually run yum and upgrade the packages in batches. So it's doable, just not by anaconda. Can't fix this one. |
