I downloaded last night's Nightly Compose of Rawhide,
burnt it to a disk (I tried it in qemu-kvm and it
works) and booted it.
After quite a long time, and long pauses between
reading the disk and stopping, finally a mouse pointer
appears on a black background, but even after waiting
30 minutes, nothing else happens.
I switched to a different virtual terminal and typed
liveinst and after a long time a line appears that the
font is being loaded, but then nothing.
I rebooted the disk and this time tried liveinst -C (I
think it is), to get the text-based version. This does
indeed run, but when I am asked how I want to
partition, it only offers to wipe my whole drive,
replace an existing linux installation that it is,
however, unable to locate, and some other unacceptable
option, but does not allow me to select a partition
that already exists that I want to use.
I also tried using liveinst as a boot parameter, with
the same results as above.
The graphical liveinst might be the better option,
assuming that it allows me to choose the partition I
want, but X will not start.
How can I get X to start with a nightly compose and
how can I install the live disk to the partition of my
choice without destroying the other partitions (as I
always do when I reinstall my system)?

Try with 'nohz=off' added to a boot line.
Or maybe something like 'clocksource=jiffies'
Ok. I might try again later. Wasted a lot of hours
fruitlessly yesterday. Not sure I care to right away.
These problems should have been worked out of the
installer by now, since we're heading to f13.
