F17 Alpha TC2 install completed. Rough times ahead. Lots of issues
with default GNOME Desktop install:
* Firstboot had the NTP time server option greyed out.
* GDM refused to let me log in.
* Virtual console refused to let me log in. Not superuser either.
Error message was cleared too quickly. Permission denied?
* No option to Reboot. Only Suspend.
Used the box's reset button. Rebooted with SELinux set to permissive.
* GDM login succeeded.
* ABRT applet notification icon at the bottom. Clicked it, but it didn't
display any issues.
* Network Manager stuck in a loop trying to bring up a secondary LAN
connection, which is offline currently. It fails, but retries.
* Network Manager didn't bring up my primary DHCP based connection. Why not?
* Opened "Network Settings". Toggled off the secondary connection, tried
to turn ON the primary one. It switched back to OFF and stayed disconnected.
* Opened terminal, ran "ifup p37p1". Voila, that worked at least.
* audit.log is full of denied messages.
* Running "reboot" killed GNOME Shell, but didn't progress. Didn't want to
wait more than ~30 seconds for unknown timeouts, so rebooted by button
again.
