It does bomb out, typically after you've spent quite a fair time getting to some stage, and you're left with going back to the beginning and trying to use it in a slightly different way, hoping that it won't crash, this time. It's lethargic and very hungry for memory. The installer actually wanted more RAM to do a graphical install, than the system would need to run, post-install. Since much of that seems to relate to computing package dependencies, you might think that someone familiar with optimising databases might improve things. Certainly, a fresh installation, with a preset package selection (i.e. no customisations) ought to be able to have a precomplied list of dependencies that don't need second-checking. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
