help installing fedora core 5
Hello I'm trying to install fedora core 5 and I'm currently at this screen here:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/fedora...ngpackages.png
However, the bottom bar is completely gray and there's nothing telling me the "status" of the install. I also told it to format one of my hard drives which is 80 gigs, not sure if its just doing that. It's been about 1 hour since I've been at this screen and I can't do anything. Just wondering if this is normal. Thanks.
