installation of F10-BETA, will report back

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear fellow testers,

On a machine running Fedora 9 along with WindowsXP(hosed), I decided to wipe out the NTFS partition and install Fedora 10 Beta.  I will have to try and fix the boot to boot both Rawhide and Fedora 9, but that will be an exercise for later.  I booted with ext4 option and did a custom boot, and had a hard time fixing the partitions so that I could install it.

Original layout:

New layout after I finish installing and testing back.  I had no ext4 option only ext4dev, is that the same?  As soon as I can boot the new system, I will get back!
