David why you are so upset? No need to get nasty. I simply posted a
message about my problems installing F12. I did not Hijack any thread
(see the subject name). I thought this was a public forum. I sent this
to the whole mailing list. My apologies if I offended you. 

All I can tell you is what happened. 

Which is I put the DVD in the drive and after a while it came up with a
recursive error and said it was fixed but needed to restart the
computer. 

I.E 	1. The kernel failed to load
	2. Anaconda did not start.

The same DVD was used to install F12 Beta on a flash drive. So the DVD
is fine.

As I said I have posted a bug report at bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=531156) but no reply. I
just thought you guys would be interested in a very serious problem that
I am having.

So I willing to put the effort to help whoever, if you point me in the
right direction.

Steven
