64 bit DVD failed to find its root on two different machines.

Netinst CD worked on the two machines.

On a machine with Nvidia 9600GT, the display went black except for the 
cursor
during package install.  Alt-Shift-F2 worked but could net get X screen 
back.
I waited for activity to stop, then hit the reset button.  Fedora booted.

Main office machine with a newer Nvidia board installed uneventfully 
with netinst.
Ntpd had to be manually installed.  Install date/time settings ignored, 
had to be reset.

Thank heavens for removable SATA drives.
