Well, that sums up my feelings about it in a nutshell. I screwed around

shot. Failing that, wait for t3....

If everyone is like you and doesn't file a bug report, it wont get
fixed ever! Geez, is it really that hard to download
development/i386/images/boot.iso and try again the next day? You have
a virtual "fc-test-$date" available to you, make use of it.
You're right. I should have at least posted here, and filed a bug
report. I was busy, and just bagged it. Here is some hardware info.
Following the hw info is a brief narrative of the problem.

At the wrapup of the install, it hung on "installing boot loader" for
over 45 minutes. I reset the computer, and attempted to boot. After a
lengthy boot, it came to a 'DOS 6.0-looking' configuration screen,
configuring monitor, mouse, printer, et al. I don't know if this is
normal for a test install. I just expected the typically neat appearing
Fedora/RedHat first boot screen.
At the end of this 'DOS 6.0' looking setup, it continued to boot to
level 3 or 4 login .... black screen, white letters.... without allowing
me to name myself as a user. I couldn't get gnome, xwindows, kde....
nothing. I decided to wait it out, but, after about an hour, I bagged it.
That was with fc4test1.
I'm downloading fc4t2 disc 1 at the moment, and I'll try it tonight or
tomorrow night.
