Fedora Core on Virtual PC 2004
After trying and failing, and even investigating and learning that it was not working for others as well, I had pretty much given up on trying to get Fedora Core 1 (aka Red Hat 10) to run under Virtual PC 2004. I really needed it to run in Virtual PC so I could get screen shots for my course notes for the Linux course I am teaching. Using a gut feeling, I decided to try a text-based installation and everything worked! It took a long time (over an hour) but once it was done, Fedora ran just fine.

I have not tried Fedora Core 3 on Virtual PC, and I won't be in this context because the next time I teach our Linux+ class I am going to use Mandrake. I do have a P4 with hyperthreading but I don't know if that was the cause of the problem or not.

OK. That worked for you. How about fedora core 3? What processor are you using? I think there are some problems with the p4 prescot procesors with hyperthreading?
