Installation succeeded :) Booted to Fedora 10 Beta. Noticed that OpenOffice Writer/Presenter/Calc show up as
FMenu --> Office --> OpenOffice.org .0 Writer
FMenu --> Office --> OpenOffice.org .0 Calc
FMenu --> Office --> OpenOffice.org .0 Presenter
respectively!
Q: Is this a bug, in the other machines in which I run Rawhide I saw them ok, but now that I look they are same? Did not even notice :(
New fdisk and grub.conf file. I will need to modify in order to boot both Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 Beta.
