Yup, that was me. I never did get it to work from the CD's ISO's so I went the 
DVD route. It installed on my spare pc at home and worked fine. I use the 
same DVD on my server at work and it also installed fine but after creating 
the first user I don't get a gui. I'm at the CLI waiting to logon.  I login 
as root and reboot and it goes back to the CLI. I haven't much time to look 
at the logs to see what's going on.

I think I'll wait for the next release that Eric said was coming out soon 
andtry again.
