Getting to the initial GUI seemed to take forever. Once there, I started at what seemed to be the beginning, upper left of the block of stuff in the middle, expecting to have to tell Anaconda the PC clock is set local. Once in time configuration, I find not only is there no apparent way to set clock to local time, Anaconda thinks no NTP server is configured even though it seemed to agree with my specification of us.pool.ntp.org, and there is a way to exit time configuration. What's the trick to getting out of time config? Oooohhhhhhhhhh, it's top left. Is there any other UI on the planet where where a done or OK button is at the upper left?
Next, installation destination: it shows my HD with model number. I click it, but nothing apparent happens. Oooohhhhhhhh, down at the botton below a desert of whitespace, in mousetype, each click of the image alternately selects and deselects several naked words instead of anything that obviously has anything to do with the task at hand. So finally I figure out how to select a partition, and when done specifying mount point and filesystem, the _prior_ partition has been set to / instead of the one I chose, and there's no way to undo it!!!
At this point, Anaconda locked up, but I was able to goto tty2 and reboot.
Forgot to mention, pretty much everything is about 2/3 the size it needs to be in Anaconda. I found that *quoted* resolution on cmdline makes the ttys acceptable, but Anaconda thinks it's OK to ignore that. What's needed on cmdline to make Anaconda's text legible?
