Fedora Core 2 Problems

I did a fresh install of Core 2 last night.  Here are the problems so far 
(none of which I had with Redhat 9; I skipped Core 1):

1. Core 2 does NOT allow you to specify a mouse-type during install.  It 
turns out that Core2 is choosing the wrong mouse during install, which 
causes my mouse to behave extremely erratically.  I wish they would just let 
me specify my mouse during install, like all previous versions did.

2. cdrecord doesn't work at all.  Even the simple command
cdrecord -scanbus
fails.  I've never had any problems with cdrecord before, going back to 
Redhat 7.1

3. When I scroll up and down a terminal window that is filled with text, the 
lower text gets wiped out.  This kind of problem should not occur once a 
system is out of it's infancy.  I can't believe they didn't find it during 
development.

With this many problems so early, I shudder to think what I will find once I 
delve deeper.
