I found the problem -- I think I was selecting some *off screen* when
tabing to the 'next' button using the GUI installer -- part of the GUI
is off screen. (I am forced to use the GUI installer, since the text
installer won't install things the way I want to (minimual install,
using an ext3 file system). When I just hit return on the boot setup
screen, it works (worked) properly. There is something really wrong
with either virt-viewer or the FC15 installer -- either virt-viewer is
lying about the screen size or the FC15 installer is making dumb
assumptions about the monitor size or something like that.
