On the first step after booting it shows Press Enter to Install..... When I press enter it stucks there and nothing happens. Even I waited for 30 minutes but still the screen stucks there i I have to reboot the system.
Strange. Is this the only message or text what is being displayed?

Strange, you should be seeing a lot more. You got another machine you can try the USB stick in?

Why don't you download the full DVD media?

Also I think there should be an icon in your LIVE desktop named something like "Install" which permanently installs a copy of the OS. Then if you want additional packages you can use 'yum groupinstall'.

I think, there are some curruptions when you copied the iso.
Why don't youjust match the checksum of the iso you have with the one supplied with this perticular release?

Secondly, you may also put this USB drive into another Linux system and try to mount this ISO file onto that host, using the following command:
Code:
 mount -o loop /dev/<USB0> /mnt/USB

Wherein the /dev/<USB0> is what you would see in the output of dmesg command when you insert this removable drive.

Once its mounted under /mnt/USB, change to that directory and try to invoke the loader file directly. The absolute path now could be /mnt/USB/sbin/loader.

See what happens. Let me know the output.

Cheers!!!!!!!
