thanks scott, it's from just booting from the live image itself, i can't 
even get to a desktop to install it to the hard drive lol

as for testing them, well tbh i don't think they did, but they obviously 
have more bandwidth to waste at redhat than i do, almost 6gb of 
downloads and i still have only 1 of 3 iso's working, this is not a good 
ratio!
