Yeah I agree, the "everything" Option will not be missed, I never did
find it useful. I installed fc5t2 today, and had no major problems, a
minor one with nVidia, but it too will be worked out. I think those who
are working on FC5 are doing a great job, I love the new look, it
installs (for the most part) faster and it is cleaner. I personally
would like to see more packages head on over to extras, and bring the 5
cd down to a more managable number, but that is personal preference.
plus, I use the DVD anyway :-)
Thanks folks! Smashing Job!!!

Very well said BaVinic!!! :) I just installed it today too :) This is
actually the first test release I installed. I thought I would help out
the best I can. I did find a few things, but someone beat me to it. I
guess because they are more experienced in test releases then me. :) I
am learning though. Usually when I find something wrong i try to track
it down to make sure it was not me who screwed it up LOL. Believe me I
have had to nuke and pave quite a few installs, but hey that is part of
learning how things tick :)
I am almost 100% M$ free. Out of 5 computer only 1 is windows!! :)
Thanks for a job well done!! :) I will try to help the best I can. :)
