Talk:Fedora 17 Installation Guide

Should review this! -- Procedure not working.

I'm running Fedora 17 (3.4.3-1.fc17.i686 #1 SMP) with an ATI Radeon HD 3800 card. I did as instructed and this happened:

AMD kernel module generator version 2.1 ./fglrx/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh: line 390: [: =: unary operator expected doing Makefile based build for kernel 2.6.x and higher ./fglrx/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh: line 462: cd: 2.6.x: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop. make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. build failed with return value 2
 * 1) ./fglrx/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh

so I changed directory and tried again and this happened:
