Fedora 3 Speakup Problem (important!)

[David Bruzos]

Hello Nick and everyone else:
Yes, there is a problem with the first FC3 cd image.  It boots in some 
computers in not in others.  I tried to install FC3 on  my desktop 
computer and gave up after hours of trying and not succeeding.  I 
checked the md5sums and the CD image is perfect.  I ended up installing 
FC3 on my laptop which did boot.  I have 4 computers in my house, two of 
them boot and two of them do not.
It is important to say that none of these machines ever had aproblem 
booting from any other installation media.  So, there must be a problem 
with the first CD.
I made two CD's just incase, but they both act the same way...
If anyone wants to know more about what hardware I am using etc, just 
let me know.


Thanx!

David B.
