I just installed Beta2 on my Dell Latitude CPx750 without any problems.
Whats so cool about laptop installs is that you can swap out hard drives
really easy. I have a hard drive just for this purpose.
Is it me, or is this Beta2 snappier than RH9 ?

Yeah, I know beta two is out. :)
I just installed beta 1 (9.0.93) on a Tecra 8200. The
first few times it would hang at /sbin/loader (I
think) - right before the graphical mode started up. I
tried the 'nofb' option, but that didn't work. I then
passed the following into the command line:
linux nofb pci=off
and the install start working correctly.
I had to answer 'no' to 'have driver disk', and 'no'
to 'load driver' when new devices were found on boot.
I also had to change my boot into level 3, and disable
pcmcia, since that service was hanging and preventing
me from booting. I haven't tried any devices in pcmcia
yet, so I don't know if it will work or not. After
that, everything booted fine. I ran startx, and X
started correctly.
My next question is 'where's gnome 2.4'? How do I get
it?
Thanks!
