Eric,

The install fails at video. I tried "linux text" and the same results.
This worked with your previous version on 3-7.

Hope your felling better.

I've been fighting a flu bug, have not got much done recently. I finished
a new build based on today's rawhide, which should be pretty close to what
the final FC5 should look like. This build fixes some bugs, and for good
measure adds a few new ones. Hopefully I'll have a largely bug-free version
ready in the near future. Until then...

New Notes:

DHCP now works.

The "Add Additional Software" links are broken.

Currently "root" cannot log in from a terminal. This is arguably a feature,
not a bug.


Updated Notes:

> Be sure to check the "LTSP" box. Minor bug, I'll fix it in the next build.

Fixed, but now the reverse problem exists. If you do a normal Fedora
install,
you have to select "Custom" and uncheck the "LTSP" box. If I can't automate
this, I can at least make it so you don't have to select "Custom" in order
to turn of "LTSP".

Didn't get around to fixing this one, it is still broken. Be sure to
select "Permissive" mode for SELinux or your terminals will fail to boot.

Tuxpaint is missing. Scribus starts up, but it is missing a dependancy,
likely that some feature doesn't work. Everything else at least starts
up without error.

Upgrades are currently broken. I know how I broke it, I'll unbreak it
in the next build ;-)
