Hi Leon, Are you using Fedora 10 Snap 3? I installed this on a laptop-based system: the install was to an external USB hard drive which a Dell D420 laptop boots. I was not installing to the laptop's internal hard drive. I have a 19" external Dell monitor connected to the laptop too, and I'm using it as the primary monitor. Also, I did my install as an http (URL-based) installation where I simply mounted the ISO image of the installation DVD to a web directory on one of my other computers, burned the boot.iso image to a CD, pointed Anaconda to the web directory and let it install that way. It seems much less fussy than an NFS install, and faster than installing with a physical DVD.
Thanks for your reply.No, I wasn't aware of the later snapshots. I'll download it and give it a test.

I see there are some significant video problems in Bug 464896 - (nomodeset) Collective bug for all "Cannot start without nomodeset on kernel command line". I did start the installer with nomodeset but still get these problems. I took a photo of the screen showing the list title and the list elements are corrupted: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/leon.stringer/fedora/f10b-anaconda1.jpg I also find that if I switch between page one and two of the wizard a few times (i.e. clicking Next and Back) the GUI locks up completely (although the mouse cursor still moves). System is an Intel D845GERG2 board, I'm using the on-board video controller. Is this caused by KMS problems describe in #464896 (even though I've used nomodeset)? Thanks, Leon...
