help with install
I am new to all this. I am trying to install Fedora 12 on my laptop. But every time it loads the screen rez is way off and I cant see the bottom of any window. And its in 4 wierd sections.
I have trying usb and cd on both Ub. and Fe.
My laptop is an HP DV6629wn
NVIDIA GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M
Any help would be good at this point.
Thanks Ryan

Try appending nomodeset to the end of the kernel line in the boot loader. If it works at least you will have a system that will allow for installation of proper video drivers. To append nomodeset boot to the menu, select the kernel that you want to boot and press 'e' to edit. Then select the line that starts with kernel /boot and press 'e' again to edit that line. Arrow to the end of the line, add a space and the word nomodeset. Press enter and press 'b' to boot. See if this helps.
