Installation succeeded :)  Booted to Fedora 10 Beta.  Noticed that OpenOffice Writer/Presenter/Calc show up as 

FMenu --> Office --> OpenOffice.org .0 Writer
FMenu --> Office --> OpenOffice.org .0 Calc
FMenu --> Office --> OpenOffice.org .0 Presenter

respectively!   
Q:  Is this a bug, in the other machines in which I run Rawhide I saw them ok, but now that I look they are same?  Did not even notice :(

New fdisk and grub.conf file.  I will need to modify in order to boot both Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 Beta.

Overall, it is looking beautifully.  Will update to latest and get back tommorrow.
