Greetings,
yes, I woke up inside an OS installer in Timbuktu.........and hit go. (find system details below)
Installation went well after second try. First try it froze up at in the end at "Installing Bootloader". Second time was a charm. Haven't used Fedora for many years, did like the installer, dnfdragora crashed during first update and had to reboot. Hardware was properly detected and everything is working.
Regards
Peter
