the other thing is, on Alvin's remarks i think fedora hasn't been updated with most moderm mobo's sata interface drivers, if you are familiar with setting your drive configuration in the BIOS to "legacy", i think this will solve some common errors on installation

I had a lot of experience of installer bugs on Fedora Core. One PC in
our office wasn't able to install FC3 because the installer wasn't able
to probe the s-ata harddisk. One friend of mine was able to boot to
installer but it soon gets terminated once the installation starts.

If you're installing FC on a s-ata disk that might as well your problem. =)

If I were meta-agnostic, I'd be confused over
wether I am agnostic or not - but I'm not quite
sure if I feel that way; hence I must be
meta-meta-agnostic. (I guess)
