Slackware15:

Install Fedora 12 on Ibm T61 it's very simple!!!

You must insert the cd in the cdrom drive and then start the pc.
You must set cdrom drive as primary boot in the bios options.

Well if you do it, fedora 12 installation starts!!

If you want use only Fedpra on your IBM, you must choose "use full disk" in the installation options. But if you want install another operating system, you must choose "manual installation" and to edit the partitions. This is the step most difficoltouse!!! :P

Then you foward all page and the installation starts!!

If your pc has 2 Gb or more, you don't need swap partition...

Good luck!!
