Upgrading to Fedora
I'm in the midst of upgrading my Red Hat 9 machine to Fedora Core 1 (a.k.a. Red Hat 10). So far, I'm very impressed and I haven't even installed it yet. The download was super simple using bittorrent for Fedora Core 1. I took a couple of hours and voila - I had all three ISOs. This is the easiest RedHat download I've ever done. Burning the ISOs was a breeze since I have two CD burners in my Windows box. The first time I tried to install (a few hours ago), it failed with "Not Enough Disk Space." I suspect it's all my kernels in my /boot partition, so I removed them with some advice. The nice thing was that even though the install failed, I was right back where I started - with a working Operating System. I've yet to have a failed install on Windows or OS X that actually reverted back to the previous OS. Attempt #2 coming up shortly.
1/2 Hour Later: Hmmm, it still says I don't have enough disk space. I cleared out all the ISOs from /home, but I doubt that's gonna help. Here's my current usage - looks to be plenty of space (to me):

Q: What's wrong with my Intel D845 / D865 motherboard or similar IDE controller (disk space error)?
A: If you get an error message with the installer, you need to do linux ide=nodma. The error message that some people get is: An error occurred transferring the install image to your hard drive. You are probably out of disk space. (Thanks to StarHeart for this.)
