I have to agree, FC10 is absolutely the worst install available. I have it on 
five machines now, and in every case I had to do video tricks to get a working 
display. I think the people who put in that animated boot display took control, 
and were more concerned with having people oh and ah over the animation that 
have a working default video mode like 800x600, and have the graphics *fit* 
instead of depending on screen scrolling, which also doesn't work on several 
machines I tried, even if you know it's there.

I have still been giving out FC9 DVDs to people, FC10 is just geek material as 
far as I'm concerned. FC10 is great software, but a hideous install.
