or Fedora Core Linux on a new unit
1 Boot with the Red Hat or Fedora Core CD:

b Make sure the boot order in your motherboard's BIOS is correct; then
start or reboot your computer.
c When the Welcome to Red Hat display appears, type:
linux dd

5 When prompted, select the proper language and keyboard types for your

For Fedora Core 5, due to an installation bug that does not update the driver,
do not reboot. Instead perform the following additional steps:
7 After the install completes, jump to a console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2.
8 Change directory to
/mnt/sysimage
9 Type the following commands:
mcopy a:InstallFix .
chmod +x InstallFix
chroot /mnt/sysimage
10 Run the workaround script
./InstallFix
The workaround will copy in the updated driver(s) and recreate the
ramdisk(s) so that upon reboot you have the updated drivers and not the
ones that came on the OS installation CD.
11 When the script finishes, type the following:
exit
12 Return to the installation screen by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7.
13 Click reboot button to finish installation.
