    Hi --

    I'm having trouble installing Fedora Core 7. I get all the way through the package selection process (where you choose office apps, software dev, and webserver packages), past the drive format, to the dialog that says "Starting install process. This may take several minutes..." and then it stops. I've let it sit at this stage for over an hour and it never continues.

    I've tried running the VM with 256 and 512 mb of memory; I've tried setting it up as a Fedora Linux type and a Solaris 10 type machine; I've tried turning off acceleration; nothing makes a difference. It always gets stuck at that point.

    I'm trying to do this on a recent MacBook Pro under Parallels Desktop 5160
    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks!

    success

    Initially I was using the FTP installation method, which seemed to be stalling. I downloaded the DVD ISO and am successfully installing from that instead.
