anyway i installed ydl 5 on my ps3 and can see that in the future it might be usefull to really understand linux. so i thought i would install fedora 6 zod on my laptop. it will boot but constantly crashes during install??i have tryed the install help and different ways to load and havent had any luck.this is the software i downloaded on dvd. Fedora Core 6 Zod dvd images for i386 .
my laptop is a older toshiba p3 500 with i belive 128 mb ram and 12 gig hd.
just wondering if this computer is to slow to run fedora 6 ? if so could it run a older version of fedora? this laptop will run xp and 2000 fine.
also i see the fedora dowloads with Fedora Core 6 Zod dvd images for x86_64 and Fedora Core 6 Zod dvd images for ppc . is one of these the correct install for me?
thanks for the help

perhaps this sounds foolish, but did you check the md5sum on that image? i386 is the right package for your hardware. Does that box even have a dvd rom ? Have you tried any of the other install methods instead of just clicking enter at boot?
Fedora will run slow, buy you can probably switch to XFCE for your desktop and run decently. Don't expect anything magical.
