Hey all.
Ok, So i've been working on trying to install Fedora since summer started, but I've had troubles. I just got around to fixing my DVD burner and making the DVD boot disk (i386). Whenever I boot from the DVD though, it takes a second to react; the the word GRUB appears on the screen, and that's it... Nothing happens after... The DVD reader doesn't spin, and i can't type anything to the screen. Is this normal? Its almost as if my computer is frozen...
Someone please help! As a tech enthusiast / programmer I feel it as my duty to learn Linux! Could the .iso image be corrupted? I never got the sha1SUM program to finish checking it...
Thoughts? I"m at wits end with this thing...
Oh! sorry, almost forgot:
Dell Desktop computer, 2004: Intel Pentium 4 processor (2.8Ghz)
Three HDD: 20 GB laptop (back up files), 80 GB Windows XP, 80 GB Old linux (Friend gave it to me, to be used for Fedora 7 core)
DVD super-multi: producer - LG
Heeeeeelpppp!! T____________T;
