| Aborting the installation |
| |
| Before beginning the process of installing Fedora Core 6, we would like to tell you about how to abort the installation process at any time if you do not want to install it on your window based operating system along with Linux. |
| |
| We are writing the process of installing Fedora Core 6 server/desktop based operating system for the fresh computer. So for aborting either press Ctrl-Alt-Del or power off the computer with the power switch. Fedora makes no changes to your computer until package installation begins. It is better to install it on the fresh computer. |
