Thanks for the linux text part that helped a lot
I can now get through the root logon prompt although startx doesn't
I tried to install the ati radeon drivers but got all sorts of errors during
compilation. I think I may now have picked up the wron ones _ I have the
XFree86 4.3.0 - is that correct?
In any case after trying that RPM I can get throuigh top the GUI logo and
enter root and password. The screen clears to fedora cora and what looks
like it should be a progress bar - but then hangs.

When I try to install Fedora it enters the Anaconda phase and
momentarily I
have a white screen with the X cursur, it is moving for 5 or so seconds
and
then locks up with nothing else happening. If I use linux acpi=off I get
occssional screen changes from black back to white, every now and then.
The Radeon card appears to be recognised but not the Viewsonic monitor.
A couple of things to try :
Don't use the fb 'linux nofb'
Install in text mode 'linux text'
See http://fedora.artoo.net/faq for more tips for your Radeon card.
Cheers,
Michael
