However, if I install from the same CDs under vmware under windows, everything works fine. If you happen to have another computer on your network, you may want to try setting up an ftp server and install FC5 from network. While you will still be booting from the first CD/DVD, all the files needed to setup FC on your pc will be fetched from the ftp server. One thing to note if setting an ftp server for FC/redhat is to make sure to copy .discinfo from the first CD/DVD to the directory where the files will be placed.
