Hello my question is what is it on f10 that you need? and why not use f9?

That turns out to be really simple.  Just "upgrade" a working F8
installation to F10 and that solves that right away.

The laptop in question is a rather old Acer TravelMate 230 with
"Intel Mobile Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz" and Intel
82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE graphics.  Works with F8 quite nicely
(save some non-critical quibbles).

Add to that X server immediately crashing like this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474540
and we are in a full "fun" mode.

I did not see yet an upgrade in such bad shape and I did not touch
yet, for obvious reasons, suspend and hibernate.  Those were broken
by F8 too but eventually I got them going and on F8 kernel did not
require any extra options save a / file system location.

I am afraid that a disk on this laptop is too small to allow for
"parallel" installations of F8 and F10.  The box will be needed
pretty soon for work purposes so if I will not find rather quickly
how to get it going with F10 I will have to revert it to the
previous state.  Big sigh but yes, I have this option.

I feel your pain.  I've got a Dell Inspiron 1100 with the
same graphics chip.  There's some partial Xorg success:
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469292
but the performance figures aren't up to snuff with F9.

In the future, I'd heartily endorse using 2 or 4G USB stick with
a "Live" version to evaluate it first. The live image is about 700M,
and you have lots of space for updates or additional packages.
Fortunately my problems are isolated to a F10 thumbdrive, while
I still have F9 on the main disk.
