I tried again, with the known good DVD and the known good
external USB DVD-drive. It did it again, and I let it go all night. Next
morning (today), still bare white screen.
I rebooted, and established that it still did boot fine into F8
as well as XP.
I tried it yet another time, using text mode. All went smoothly,
up to the point of installing Tomboy -- which it shouldn't install in an
upgrade, since that isn't in my F8.
Are you sure it is tue that onnly programs
that are in F8 are installed
in F9 if you do an upgrade?
