Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y
Abort.

 

Are you sure you just entered Y and nothing else (spaces, tabs, etc.)?

 

yes i actually restarted the whole installation just to make sure it did the exact same thing

 

Do you use PuTTY ( http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html ) to connect to your server?

 

yep sure do that and winscp they work wonderful

 

Did you maybe copy & paste more than one command at a time from the tutorial to your PuTTY window, like an apt-get comand followed by some other command? apt-get doesn't like that, you should copy & paste apt-get commands only one by one.

 

silly question I know, but does apt-get work in fedora or is it yum.

 

well I normaly use yum on my centos / fedora, but I guess apt should work as well.

Either you try with yum or try

apt-get install -y ... to autmatically force installing the stuff, that would ignore anything beeing in you clipboard as falko suggested.

 

You can install apt-get on Fedora like this:

Code:

yum install apt-get

(maybe it's also

Code:

yum install apt

, I don't remember for sure...).

 

Look in the Fedora core 3 tutorial it says how cant remember exactly

 

I had the same problem. It seems like it doesn't like it when you use a capital "Y". Try using a small "y", it worked for me

 

I actually solved the problem it was the fact that i wasnt copying line by line after all .. it was picking up the <CR> embedded when copied
