I'm trying to install F26 on an older laptop using the Live DVD.
When I boot the DVD, everything seems to work until the "Started User Manager for UID
1000" message. Then the boot seems to stall for a long time, over 10 minutes. The
DVD is being accessed, but sometimes stops for a couple minutes before restarting.
Edit the boot entry to remove the rhgb and quiet parameters from the
kernel line. That way you will get much more information about the boot
process. When you get to the stall point, try using CTRL-ALT-F3 to see
if you can switch to a console.
