[Kofi Ambrose]

I tried installing Fedora 8 on a pentium III machine but was never successful. Can somebody tell me what might have cause this problem. Thanks in advance.

No. You didn't give any information that could help in solving the problem. Read this document: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html[^]

The problem is that, the installation process would start alright but gets stuck on the way (about half way through),that is, in the course of copying files, and eventually fails.

Have you set the memory requirements as per the instructions on the fedora manual? The swap, boot requirements, root...etc

How can we with the crap information you gave? No particular error message or anything like that, leaves it to being anyone's guess.
