Seems like maybe I have a LOT of work to do this evening because I tried
the earlier suggestion and edited the line when GRUB loaded and went
into text mode. It seems the install is all hosed. It said it couldn't
find the file system and it couldn't kill the init. (or words to that
effect) So I'm going to assume that I need to re-install Fedora. 
Thinking back, the install didn't take as long as I expected, but then
again, ubuntu installs very quickly. (maybe because a lot of stuff is
disabled?) Well, got to get to work.

Thanks!
