Must have been the magic twanger,, it ran anaconda and now says "Welcome to Fedora" in a white window with an "OK" center screen. Got through keyboard and language, then told it to skip the boot loader update as it dual boots to xp too. Trying to do an update in text mode. dependencies will probably give it an upset tummy. I recall seeing the figure 27% as a place it got stuck too, from previous posts, but its made it to 36% now... About 1.5% a minute, HD led never goes off.
