During the install, the installer says that the install disks didn't work. See linux media check issue with Fedora Core 4 disks. The solution? Start up the installer with:

linux ide=nodma

I installed Fedora Core 4 last night, and found that it would periodically freeze (every ten minutes or so). I couldn't find much pattern behind it, except that subversion was usually running. Upgrading subversion did not help, however.

I'm reinstalling again this morning, running memory checks and any other sort of checks that it has. I'd really like to get this working as quickly as possible, but I also want it to not freeze..

It looks like the 3rd install disk was corrupted. I reinstalled, and thought I was fine, but after about 4 hours of use this morning (and getting a lot of things installed), it froze again.
