I attempted to do the install to hard disk and failed. I was trying to install it on a USB attached drive and got the following error each time I tried:
"An error occurred trying to format sdb1. This is a serious problem, and install cannot continue."
The drive was previously partitioned using gparted and sdb1 is a 100MB partition. I noticed that as the error was being reported that a "recently plugged devices" window popped up, so I assume that the USB connection is getting lost when attempting to format it via anaconda.
KDE 4 is pretty cool and works well on a dell inspiron 9400 with intel wireless, dell bluetooth and ati mobility x1400. Both wireless and wired networks connections work perfectly, correct 1920x1200 resolution.
