How is Fedora so great...

Can't boot from my USB key, i use Unetbootin and DVD install and get INT 18 at boot or drm_mode_rmfb error?

Fedora still copy live image to hdd if i use DVD install.

I hope you don't include Mono?

:(

After trying to install updates on 12 from Ubuntu on Vbox i get:

Error Type: <class 'yum.Errors.RepoError'>

File : /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/repos.py, line 121, in getRepo
'Error getting repository data for $s, repository not found' $ (repoid)

What actuality works in Fedora, can't install natively, can't update on Vbox? :confused:
