Fedora wont install
Ok this is the first time i am trying to use linux, and i would like to install Fedora(sponcerd by redhat or somethin) anyways i go through the install prettu much fine untill there is 10 min left and it sort of freezes there... My theary i think is that there may be not enough hard disk space since im installing it on a 2 gb drive (dont laugh im installing it on my testing comp) anyways the other specs are that its a p1 166mHz somethin like 32 mb ram 16x cd drive, no floppy 16 mb 3d banchee or somethin... please help because i really want to install this and i dont want to download fedora again or any other linux os unless i have to.

fedora is much too large to install there.... I said it before and I said it agian, install vector. Its only 1 cd and 236 megs or so. Be aware your not getting bells and whilstles. If you want to add in more(gui stuff), play with dropline-gnome later. Either way, atleast you'll have lots of disk space left from vector as apposed to redhat and all the server stuff you need (if you just want it for that) right after vector installs.
if your dead set on it, just choose a selective install and be choosy as hell, leave out xfree86,gnome,gtk, qt, and kde. |

This sounds terribly like a problem I had with all Redhats starting at version 8 (including the new Fedora) on one of my computers when using CDs.
The problem seems to be that for some reason it doesn't recognize the need to change to the next CD. The only way I found around this problem is to avoid the need to change the media:
