I just installed Fedora Core 4 (64 bit) on my laptop and Im havin some problems. Its my first time using linux. Im not even sure which desktop manager im using because I installed 3 of them (X window, Gnome, and another one I cant remember).
First of all, it freezes during boot pretty much every other time. I am dual booting with XP Pro but using GRUB as my boot manager.
Second, I went through this whole process setting up ndiswrapper to allow me to use my built in on board Broadcom WiFi card. It shows up in the network settings but I cant activate it. While booting I can see that when it tries to load the driver it fails. Im thinking maybe because its a 32 bit driver and not compatible with a 64 bit OS. But im also thinking I may not have it in the right place. Its on my "Desktop" right now. Please advise.
