Used the preview x86_64 DVD iso. Install from hard disk worked fine this time - much more convenient than having to burn a dvd, glad it is working again. What on earth is in the "Electronics Lab" program group? If I look at the 4 optional packages, they are things like 100dpi X11 fonts, and the minicom terminal program. Why do they have anything to do with hardware design? Why on earth is power management and screen blanking on during anaconda? I was sitting across the room glancing at the screen from time to time to monitor progress, then the screen goes blank, forcing me to actually stand up and walk 6 feet to touch the mouse :-). I did what I usually do (especially with test versions), selected pretty much all optional packages in all groups, and I wound up with two "Screensaver" menu entries that run two different dueling screensaver dialogs. The boot time really is very much faster (at last!). I wonder if the fast boot and shutdown is a bit too fast? After I got the initial install done on an alternate partition, I wanted to boot back into my normal default fedora 10, so I used the gnome shutdown option directly from my login session, and when f10 booted up, the fsck went into "recovering journal" mode on the f11 partition which I had just (seemingly) shut down normally. It said it found and fixed an orphan inode. (Still using ext3 for everything, no ext4 experiment yet :-). That's all I can remember without my notes from last night, may have more to add this evening. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
