HELP: downgrading FC4 to FC3 woes :S

[kevingpo]

Hmm. I did a clean install of FC4. Didn't like it that much because it couldn't compile icculus.org Duke3D linux port. I remember it compiled fine with FC3. So I decided to clean install FC3 again. But something strange happens. After a successful install, and a reboot, all it does is stay at GRUB2 loading... (or something like that). A bug? A bug when trying to override FC4 grub? How to fix? Do I use a rescue CD like Knoppix and try to fix grub from there? How do I get write access via Knoppix?



UPDATE EDITED:

I just installed FC3 with full Development Applications (gcc, etc.). Then I used apt/synaptic to update all my installed programs. That includes updating gcc, etc. to gcc-3.4.4-2.fc3 (which I think is the last version for fc3).

I compiled icculus Duke3D and it compiled superbly with hardly any warnings and no errors.

So basically FC4 contains gcc-4.x.x. Why is version 4 so different to version 3. And shouldn't version 4 be backwards compatible with version 3 gcc?

Post the error you have with compiling the software. Downgrading to Fedora Core 3 shouldn't be necessary.

Well FC4 has lots of bugs.. such as the /etc/fstab swap entry written as corrupted garbage... and many of my files don't work.
