I've been running Fedora Core 5 x86 AMD 64 on my laptop since March 20th IIRC?
Looks good to me. I'm a little bummed they removed the right click option for terminal shell and it seems that whenever I do a view details of the boot process my video is hosed once the desktop comes up (ATI 200M).
The add/remove programs only seems to work when connected to the web.
Install was smooth and easy, better driver support than windows XP Pro 64-bit edition (thanks for nothing HP, broadcom, ATI & conexant).

Insert disc. Do full media check. Reburn Disc 3 due to corruption. Reboot. Insert disc. Do full media check. Install. Freeze at selecting time zone. Reboot. Select packages. Computer restarts at Disc 2. Reboot. Computer gets to the end, Disc 5, 99%, and gives corrupt file error. Will not allow you to recheck the file in case of a bad read. Take discs, smash, shred, and burn. Install Debian.
The real problem is with the media check. I swear sometimes you get media check failed not when the media is bad but when there's a problem with the check itself.
I used to get this all the time, and proceed with the install anyway. Never had a problem. Now I just skip the media check as an uneccessary waste of time.

There's not much of a need for ZDNet's Fedora Core 5 install photos..
For all of my RH/Fedora installations, including Fedora Core 5 (over a month ago), I used Stanton Finley's site... His site is much more informative:

The Fedora Core 5 Install Experience?

uhm... no, this would be a representation of the FC5 install experience. The install experience would, you know, be the install experience. And how many/.ers need such an elementary introduction? It's nice that it's being done, maybe the FC community have taken notice of the Ubuntu user friendly experience and are trying to ease new users into a babystep by babystep install?

I'm posting this even though I moderated, just because the story really really is in need of help. (translation, you get two fp trolls)
The "story" is just a bunch of screenshots, and a link to a blog on techrepublic.com.com that you need to register to see. Once I got into the blog, it wasn't even on the page, because this was posted there April 20th with the following "content":
Fedora Core 5 Installed.....Next Stop, XenSource
Tags: open source, linux, virtualization, the hot button, steven s. warren, xen
I just finished my installation of Fedora Core 5. It was a painless installation. I will be concentrating next on getting XenSource installed using Fedora Core 5. The IT grapevine says it is easier to install Xen on FC5 than FC4.
Has anyone out there installed Xen on FC5 yet? If so, I would like to be able to pick your brain if I stumble and trust me I will stumble. Xen seems really difficult to install from the initial reading I have done. I have a sneaking suspicion it is going to be painful. We shall see.

Note: You can also see my other Installation Galleries that I have done by reading the following blogs:
Note: Here is my installation gallery for Linspire Five-O
That was it, just a "have you done it?" and photos, on flickr no less. It was done by Steven S. Warren though, who was the contributer to zdnet, so it wasn't out and out theft, just quite dumb. As someone previous said, looks like they just posted it to display all the ads on each page. But if you want to see that, there is allways the Printable Version with only 1 ad.

No... The story title and summary are redundant. A better title and summary would be:
The Fedora Core 5 Install Experience
A detailed image gallery walks the reader through.
Now that's concise, especially if you leave the link out.:P
Same here, I completely ignore the media check part now. I installed fine when they said the ISOs were bad (note: haven't gone to 5, I skip every other fedora release now, once a year is way more than enough). I don't trust the media checker thingee.

You missed the point of the article. With a little help from me, my 4 year old son who cannot read or write, managed to install successfully fedora core 5 with the help of this 'picture book'.
Now i am trying to find another 'picture book' for him because he is bored with FC5 after installing it 5 times a day for a week. I think he needs a new game. For the moment we are waiting for the release of FC6 picture book and the new Harry Potter Comic book.

What are we supposed to look for?
BTW, "The Fedora Core 5 Install Experience" sounds like a Fusion group's name. It probably work geat in Silicon Valley!
