things like mozilla firefox take up to 30 seconds to load.
a most common thing like lsusb from usbutils isnt instlaled, heck, lets 
remove lspci as well in the next release :)

install took nearly 90 mins, the same test best had a full slackware 10.2

But i will say on face of it FC5 is much better than FC4 apart from these 
things, i mean at least the official iso's dont have to be lied to and 
made to error before you can even install this time round :D
FC5 will remain only on the test machine for the immediate future here.
bleeding edge? well bleeding it is lol...
its bene on it for 2 days, we'll see after a week or so before i consider 
allowing it to go on desktops
