Nope, booting with vga=vesa does not work either.  It still
reverts to text mode after X fails to start.


I am using the VNC boot option that G.Wolfe recommended, and that does
appear to work so far (I'm in the middle of the upgrade now).

It's documented in section 9.2 of the Fedora 11 Installation guide
<http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f11/en-US/html/sn-remoteaccess-installation.html>


I'd still be interested to know how one could go about installing
if I didn't happen to have another computer nearby to use.  And
if what I encountered is a known issue, that perhaps will be solved
for F12.  (Or if I can help collect information for the developers
responsible for this area).

Thanks to everybody
