I will add to this, saying FC4 had a very rocky start, and I 
don't recall any announcement that the ISO images were fixed 
and re-released. With the nightmare I went through getting FC3
installed and the reported problems installing FC4 seeming 
trivial in comparison, I have not wanted to chance it.

I have tried FC5t2 and it is a little fussy but I was able to 
get it to install.

I also intend on moving straight from FC3 to FC5.

I have great hopes for FC5 and appreciate the hard work done 
by the developers.
