There's a time-out on the login - if you leave it sitting at GDM long enough, it just logs itself in with default options. > Installed to hard drive > Installed on entire drives > Selected Review and modify > Deleted all lvm stuff, built a raid1 device for /home and rebuilt the lvm vg > for swap and / > Creating filesystems took a long time.

I believe it's only meant to set the keyboard layout *for GDM* (if you set your username and password with, oh, a Russian keyboard layout, trying to enter them with an English one is unlikely to work spectacularly well :>). I could be wrong here, though. > No 'desktop effects'. Hope nouveau gets there soon... 3D is Hard, unfortunately. Especially when you have to reverse-engineer everything (there's no specs for NVIDIA hardware). We are getting there, though. Ben has somewhat-working compiz with a few artifacts on a few NVIDIA chipsets, at this point in time. Give it a year or so, is my guess, depending on your chipset. > Did a yum update and rebooted.

Also known and fixed already, as long as you have NetworkManager and NetworkManager-gnome 0.7.996-5.git20091021.fc12 or higher you won't see this again. > If this kind of report is interesting, I was planning to do a basic install > tomorrow from the x86_64 DVD, and then a network install.
