FC3-re0908.0-i386-disc1-ftp.iso - slow install

[Russell Coker]

I booted up with the FC3T2 pre-release disk FC3-re0908.0-i386-disc1-ftp.iso 
and the install takes ages.  My machine is a HP Vectra machine, P3-800, 256M 
of RAM, and USB keyboard.

At the boot: prompt I press ENTER and it gives a boot screen which ends in the 
following:

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Greetings.
anaconda installer init version 10.0.2 starting
mounting /proc filesystem... done
mounting /dev/pts (unix98 pty) filesystem... done
mounting /sys filesystem... done
trying to remount root filesystem read write... done
mounting /tmp as ramfs... done
running install...
running /sbin/loader

It stays for about two minutes with the above before getting to the "CD Found" 
screen.
