Hi Ranjit and Shardul, I don't mean to step on any toes or be "patronising" but are you guys using FC3 because you like/want to or are enthusiastic about trying it out, or do you need a working linux for some productive work? Try Mandrake? I tried FC3 on my p3/i810 and right from the start (boot/insall) it worked only in text mode (no GUI installer) and I had some problems with X after install so I didnt spend too much time/effort and quickly reverted back to (my older copy of) Mandrake 10.0 which auto-detected my i810 fine and started a graphical instal and later Xsetup and KDE/GNOME worked fine... I just put a LG CDRW drive which I have yet to try out (k3b etc) but Im sure it wont be problem... So I was basically writing this email to suggest Mandrake instead of FC3... (yeah yeah I know there is talk that Mandraka is no longer "Free" as in community spirit using non-Free software etc, but I dont care about that). PLUG people have the new Mandrake 10.1 with 4 CDs which should be good too...
