Re: FC4 does not work, "out of the box" for me; GUI/X11 fails

I can see that a good option would be for the initial installation to
have two GRUB entries for the first kernel.

1. Normal boot.
2. Reduced level boot.

It might make things easier the first time around.

For fresh installs where rebooting the system after install and before firstboot, such an option being availble would be handy. At least grub does make it easier to change runlevels or add parameters to the boot command when problems arise

With the GCC4 problem that really took its toll on X for FC4 release, it would have spared users from turning away from Fedora, as stated by some who were detoured to other distros temporarily. A new set of FC4 ISOs with all improvements to date should be released once FC3 becomes unsupported. Sooner if developers or community provided an updated set of ISOs to lessen the frustrations new installers of FC4 experienced. FC5 should be a lot cleaner of a distro snapshot. (pure guess) - The time period between the two snapshots and things learned from the FC3 to FC4 snapshot which had the shorter time period to smooth out the installation ISOs for FC4.

Let's hope for a better FC5 and if we help weed out the bugs through the upcoming beta cycle.
