I had a similar experience with the mouse pointer. Anyone know if
there
is a new bug report?
This is the first F12 installer I have gotten to work.
My experience was that the installer started (no mouse pointer until
after the disk druid) but then the install double faulted activating the
disk layout -- exception, then exception when "file bug" selected.
Could not save either exception report.
Re-boot showed that some of the partitions had been damaged so a re-
install of F11 is taking place. Could not properly get Everything and/or
updates to mount from the same NFS partition as the Fedora Installation
Repo.
