There's a bugzilla about it... looks like kudzu or cpuspeed could be 
tweaked a little more...

This always happened to me , even on FC1 and RH9... on RH9 , I ended 
editing /etc/rc.d/rc.local and adding direct calls to autofs..

system-config-sound doesnt unmute the channels nor raise the volume... 
also alsa-utils isnt installed.. Only after I installed alsa-utils I was 
able to hear something on my sb live..

Hey , this is a test release... it exists for us to find the bugs before 
they sneak in the official release

well , kde and gnome are faster , but sometimes they simply stop 
responding on my machine.. most of the time , if I press something like 
alt+tab , they come back to life...

Weird.. after installing FC2t1 , it looked like I had bought a new 
processor and more ram...

One of the things I found out: yum is working fine (besides the fact 
that I had to add "exclude = qt qt-devel kdelibs redhat-artwork" because 
of broken dependencies) , but up2date is not (using the default config). 
Also , up2date finds 29 available updates , but yum finds none (looking 
at two different mirrors and the official download site)...

So far , I'm liking FC2 a lot... I cant wait to see the final release...

Btw, my machine on which I'm running FC1 and FC2t1:
Athlon XP 1800+
Asus A7N8X-Deluxe
3 hdds
Sb live
tv capture card
Ati radeon 9500 pro
