Could be _much_ more easy to get going: * First of all, I'm one of those "put .iso on local harddisk and boot it with the included vmlinuz/initrd" users. It didn't default to "askmethod", so because I was in a hurry, I didn't notice it performed a network install and downloaded everything from the network. Gah! * Booting with "askmethod" and pointing it to /dev/sda6 and path /15/64, the installer crashed in /sbin/loader. * Once the installer crashed during graphic adapter init. It ended with nothing else than "noise" on the screen. * In addition to removing "gnote" due to its broken dep, I typically remove group "Applications > Games and Entertainment". Why does this still install "gnome-games" nevertheless? | Installing gnome-games-2.31.91.1-1.fc15.x86_64 * End of installation resulted in bz 673209 (reported by somebody else before. * The LUKS passphrase prompt during booting doesn't have focus or such. Everything entered there is displayed on one of the virtual consoles. With the asterisk chars being displayed only when hitting ENTER. * Rebooting crashes in firstboot. * At the graphical login screen, I cannot log in. I did the useradd manually, and it appears as an empty entry to click on. Authentication fails. Cursor doesn't show any asterisk characters either when typing in the passphrase. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
