I just purchased a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6030 ( http://microcenter.com/single_produc...uct_id=0326047 ). It's a screaming machine with NVIDIA video and i7 processor. However, I'd really like to install F12 as a dual boot on the free disk space.
I tried the live iso disk. The "automatic boot" countdown completes and Fedora begins to load. The screen goes blank (NVIDIA problem I believe) and that's it. I know F12 will operate on the machine once installed with kmod-nvidia, however, how to get it in the machine is the problem.
I installed F12 within "Microsoft Virtual PC 2007" running on Windows 7. It has some limited functionality and is understandably a bit slow, but does indeed work.
I appreciate advice and suggestions.
