Yup, have a big install with SL.

Download the ISOs, either burn them or mount on an install server.
You can knit them together to create a DVD for install (small script on
the site).
Alternatively download the boot.iso CD image, which is considerably
smaller, and do a network install from a handy mirror, such as
www.mirrorservice.org


Re. Fedora, you could look in the code and see where that error message
is coming from, and maybe amend it, if you are confident you have all
the correct library versions.
