Has anyone done this successfully? No matter which setting I change in the BIOS the installation freezes in the same place. it stops at 1.717920

 

Any help is welcomed,

 

Thank you!

Why would run such an old version of Fedora on a new piece of hardware. I recommend that you install something new like Fedora 20 (or whatever the latest one is). If not try Arch Linux or Ubuntu as they do a good job as well.

With such an old version of fedora, it may not support the hardware in the nuc, it would be best advised to indicate that to the client. Also find out their reasosns, if its to do with windowmanager etc, that can easily be swapped out.

That's kind of what I was thinking. The reason he wants it is that he runs his own Perl code on his existing machine with 16. I think he is worried about compatibility.

Could you post some more details? From a quick google search it could be the integrated graphics chip that causes problems with the bootloader.

Well, find out what version of perl he is running and downgrade it to that, though not upgrading because one is too lazy to maintain their own code is an odd reason..

After an hour of trying, Fedora 20 does not seem to work either. It says  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py:,line 1308, in_execute_child raise child_expectation
