I tried again with Fedora 8 with an identical result.<br>
<br>
There was apparently some confusion, this is a fresh install, it just<br>
happens to be on a systems that previously had FC6 installed on it. The<br>
selection that is offered on the initial screen is "Update or Install on<br>
an Existing System", so that's the one I used (I've tried several<br>
others, but none seem to work any better).<br>

<br>I wish I could remember exactly what I did wrong but I can't. I've only done a scratch install twice in my life and I didn't take notes on how I did it wrong. I have some vague feeling that I downloaded the image and then used K3b to burn the disk and did it wrong but...<br>
