Cannot install FC 4

[Russell Golden]

sounds like what i had with my laptop when i tried installing FC4. i 
eventually gave up and stuck with dual booting between red hat linux 9 
and windows xp. *shrug* nobody was ever able to figure out what the heck 
was going on. Mr. Stevens, you never got back to me on that last one lol
note to self: if i ever feeling like using fedora, try that boot option
btw, i checked out FC4 on my tower, it finally decided to work on that 
computer. IMO, red hat linux 9 is a lot better. see if you can find the 
install ISOs for that. and the best part: the RHL9 CDs work! :P
