Dear Testers:
     The Good -
           1.  F13-BetaRC4-i386 installs fine on VirtualBox-OSE 3.1.4 
with host OS F12-x86_64.
           2.  F13-BetaRC4-x86_64 installs fine on VirtualBox-OSE 3.1.4 
with host OS F12-x86_64.
     The Bad -
           F13-BetaRC4-i386 appears to install fine on Dell Dimension 
B120 Laptop but will not proceed thru First Boot.
           This is a machine which has clean installed and run F7 thru 
F12 acceptably.
           Also worth noting this system ran when I upgraded F12 to 
F13-AlphaTC1 and I was using the desktop apps without major issue.
      The Ugly - F13-BetaRC4-i386 as installed on my multi-boot XP,F13 
Dell Dimension B120 Laptop fails the look and feel test for the following:
            I do not get any sort of a Fedora Menu when booting and 
pressing ESCAPE Key during the bootup does not bring it up either.  This 
probably because the default grub.conf had a timeout of 0.  This is a 
change from previous versions and a negative one in my opinion.  Windows 
Users Trialing Fedora will want their windows dual boot.

Can't do more with this right now, my 19 year was just admitted to 
cardiac icu.  I'll probably be off the grid a day or three.
