Titoist Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I gave up on Ubuntu, so I tried Fedora 9, however its asking for a username and password on a clean harddrive. no matter what I enter, it rejects it. What do I do? PS. I tried going interactive, however, the installation just ignores my selection and goes into a text based installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted June 13, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 13, 2008 You created a user account when you installed. It is probably this account that is being asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titoist Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 I actually didnt... the requirement for the login information comes right after all the text that sais "Loading [something]..... [OK]". Like its maybe 1min after the "non-interactive" setup first starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted June 13, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 13, 2008 Is this a Live CD, or an install one? Can you point me to exactly what image you downloaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titoist Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Its a live cd. I tried root, puts me into this menu, but then I dunno what to do. I click on this "X" and run an get a message saying that I need to install a clean installation. Note: I tried downloading the install media from the Fedora website, except I get a message saying "page cannot be found", and I dont do torrent downloads cause I have no experience in torrents, last time I tried, my computer messed up.

That's odd because I am able to start downloading the ISO images: http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora If that doesn't work, try downloading it from one of the mirrors located at: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/9/ Don't forget to verify the ISO before burning it: http://fedoraproject.org/en/verify If your using Windows to burn the ISO you can use a shell extension like CyoHash to compute SHA1/MD5 hashes, then compare them to the hashes on the above link.
