I’m trying to get a new Dell Latitude D630 to dual boot. Installation of XP and RHEL5 went fine until I had to configure X. This laptop came with either an intel video card or an nvidia one. Sadly, we got the intel one and I can’t get the drivers for this card to work with RHEL5. I found a couple of webpages where this configuration supposedly did work using Fedora Core 7. So, I downloaded FC7 and tried to install. Here it was unable to find a driver for the dvd player. I think it would work if I had cds, but FC7 only comes with a dvd image. I’m now copying the entire dvd to our nfs fileserver and will try to use a network install.
That worked fine. The installation proceeds as it should.
