Favorite Dist (was Silent list?)

[Eric "Shubes"]

I had a problem installing FC4 on an older IBM desktop box w/ PII 266. 
The problem was with the S3/Trio3D (I think) drivers. There was a 
carriage return missing in a spec file for the video. The work-around 
was to install headless, then go in and add the cr, then kudzu do its 
thing. There was a description of the problem/solution on bugzilla. 
Don't know if that was your problem or not, but it definitely crashed 
the install program.
