Does anyone > have any feedback for getting the installer to actually, well, install? A couple of things... First maybe you should move any test release specific technical issues to fedora-test mailing list. I'm sure there are some people who cross read the two lists...but i bet more seasoned testers read fedora-test. Second have you read the release notes for the test release fully? Just becuase you have to disable some feature for the installer to work does not mean those features are disabled for good. Example the Sony laptop issue as stated in the Release notes.If there is a problem with the kernel or whatever for your lappy, that prevents the use of these devices even after install. Not much you can do, except file the bugreport..follow up on the report with information as requested from the developer and try any updated kernel(or other packages) that are created to attempt to fix your problem. If disabling devices for boot...gets it installed...then do exactly that, then file the bug reports and wait for bug fixes to roll out for you to test. -jef"just be glad the install work around doesn't involved a crowbar and jumper cables"spaleta
