1st reboot after FC2 *full* install

I had a problem similar to this last night, and it turned out that on screen
7 (ctl-alt-F7) the machine was waiting for me to enter setup information for
Fedora.  Weird, since I'd already entered this stuff months ago.  I went
through it again and it seemed to work fine after that!
 
Hope this helps!

Subject: 1st reboot after FC2 *full* install
 
Hi all,
 
I'm trying to install a full(!) FC2 installation on a Celeron 2GHZ. I didn't
really had problems doing that except that, on first reboot, the machine
stops on "Enabling swap space" phase.
I tried that on another machine (Celeron 2.6GHz(?)) and the same problem
occurs.
I installed FC1 on same machines before with no problems at all.
 
 
Can anyone help why is this happening and how to avoid it?
 
(In fact I know a way to avoid it: First I install a (typical) personal
desktop. After first (successful) reboot, shutdown and reinstall again(!).
Now, I should choose Custom installation with Manually partition (keep
partitions without formatting!) and finally choose to install Everything -
But life shouldn't be so hard  :-)  )
 
 
Please don't tell me I don't need every packages on the four FC2 disks: I'm
just a newbie to Linux (although not to Unix...).
 
By the way... How can I install *Everything* after a succesful FC2
instalation, without having to reinstall?
 
Thanks in advance,
JC
