Trying to install Fedora 20 32-bit version on a multiboot system

(Windows 8.1 + PCLOS 32 + PCLOS 64) into a standard partition.

Got up past setting passwords for root and user. Then it crashed

with the following message:

The following error occurred whil installing. This is a fatal error

and installation will be aborted.

error population transaction: failure:

Packages/s/systemd-python-208-9.fe20.:686.rpm from anaconda:

I want to install Fedora in order to run Linux version of

DraftSight cad program, which has a Fedora rpm available and

which does not run on PCLOS, for unknown reasons.

Suggestions, please.

Thanx--doug

Hey Doug,

Any particular reason you aren't using  64 bit Fedora?  If it's
because of a 32bit app, the chance of it working on x86_64 is *very
high* and so worth trying.

May I suggest the 64 bit - the graphics are much faster. 32 bit is
glunky for 2/3D and animation.

Well, the reason was that I had the disk. So I listened to the sage
advice from the list here, and started to download the file. I have the
usual cable connection, and I thought
I'd have the file in 20 minutes or so. The estimate was 4½ hours! I said
to go ahead, and then after about 2½ hours I accidentally aborted it.
I'll try again late tonite.
I'm downloadeing from fedoraproject.org.

That's too bad Doug. But bad things do happen from time to time.

"the sage advice from the list"? Really> Users trying to help users.

Good luck here with that attitude.

You seem to think that was an insult or something.  Here's what
Artha says:

"sage ~ adj    rare
 1. having wisdom that comes with age and experience"
