I had the same issue. After trying to burn on two different DVD burners 
and downloading a 2nd time I finally decided to try and upgrade my F10 
system anyway. The upgrade ran to completion without any errors. It 
rebooted fine. The DNS settings were not copied over and I had to enter 
them. I was able to get on the network wired. Yumex would not run. Yum 
clean all finally cleared that up. When I did a yum update it  
downloaded  over  800mb. As far as I could tell they were all F11 
updates. After that update and a reboot I got a blinking cursor and 
blank screen. At this point I restored F10.
