| | h2. Fedora Core 5 Installation Tips |
| | * Fedora 5 works well on my pSeries based on POWER5 processor via a dumb terminal console |
| | * I have found problems installing the DVD version (part way through it reported errors in the packages), which I then avoided by booting from CDROM and the doing a NFS install - this worked perfectly every time. |
| | ** This problem my have been just the particular DVD that you get with a pSeries p505 - your mileage may vary. |
| | ** You can start an NFS install by using - the at the boot prompt: *askmethod* |
| | * Also when installing into a virtual VIO client (virtual disk), you need the IBM Virtual SCSI client driver installed. |
| | ** To get this installed add the boot prompt: nostorage |
| | ** Then when asked select the POWER5 (hit 'p' when you get to the driver list) and select the *ibmvscsic* device driver and then you can install OK |
| | * It seems to find the virtual Ethernet driver without any help |
| | * So at the boot prompt type: |
| | ** boot: *linux64 nostorage askmethod* |
