I am doing an install. There was nothing of value, well, about 100Mb of
files that I copied to USB and I want what a clean FC11 would be.
But I did walk away. I just happened to glance over at it from this
laptop's screen and saw where it was. Now it is doing the 1000+ package
install, and that I know will take a couple hours.
Just what was the setup startup? The partitions where already formatted.
