I brought the FC5_x64 DVD with me instead of FC5_i386, but what the heck, the machines are 64 bit and it's officially supported by the software I want to install, so roll with it.

So I install FC5, and then I install the software I want to install, and it gets allll the way through downloading and installing itself and falls over with three dozen version conflicts in various RPMs.

So now I'm reinstalling CentOS 4.4, which is the only other Linux I have on me, but which I know definitely works. Unfortunately, all I have is the CDs, so I have to sit here swapping them back and forth between the machines.

The best part is when, two minutes into CD #4, it asks for CD #1 again. When CD #1 is in another machine.

Pfui.
