The latest in this vintage clothing named distribution (yes yes, we know the are roots in Red Hat) comes with a new distribution format, the latest X.org release for 3D accelerated goodness, and an extremely polished desktop environment. When we eventually got it installed, that is.
It was with much anticipation that we nabbed the new Fedora Core 7 Live CD in the hope of checking it out first before installing it. Unfortunately, the live CD had other plans.
After starting to load the kernel it happily reported a series of 'buffer IO' errors on my DVD drive. It's a pretty reliable Pioneer DVR-111, and not had a problem with burned disks yet, but nevertheless, I burned another and... got the same result. Ok, let's try the 64-bit Live CD...
I don't know about the install issues mentioned here with Fedora 7. I did an install on the day it was released and everything installed perfectly the first time. Perhaps the problem could have had to do with reading the install instructions, or possibly not having read the installation material from Fedora. I wonder about this, since the author actually wrote an article talking about "Fedora CORE 7," when there is no such version. It's "Fedora 7" and there is no "Core" in the name, anymore. A bit more attention to detail, with the name and with the install instructions may be in order here.
