Black screen. The CD doesn't have the correct driver, doesn't recognize the graphics card/chip, improper X configuration, etc. For this reason I don't use Live CDs for installs. Try 'ctrl-alt-backspace' key combination (this will kill the X-server) after the black screen appears. If you are dropped back to a usable commandline terminal, then it's an X problem. Use a full install DVD. Takes a while to download, but it's worth it: more drivers. Also, be aware that with the 32-bit (i686) versions of Fedora, you won't have access to all 4GB of RAM due to limits of the 32-bit addressing unless you use the PAE kernel. You'd be better off using the 64-bit Fedora instead.
