Downloaded the boot.iso 5 meg file, burned to CD.
PIII 667, 128M RAM, ATI Mach64, Ensoniq

Boot from cd, choose linux text, struggle with getting mirrors and path
correct.  Every mirror seems to use slightly different paths to the
right files, and the install doesn't give any hints as to how far down
the path you need to enter.  It becomes obvious once the install
complains that it cannot find the stage2 file.
Choose standard workstation install.
Install goes for maybe 2 hours, not bad for 2 gigs.
System reboots.
rhgb seems to run ok.
It configures X
First boot configures X again.
Create user, all is ok.
Applause for the developers.

Should a system that was installed in text mode default to run level 3?
