I don't know what is happening, but I now see that there is no question 
that my Lenovo x120e is running hot during an install.

I have YET to get it to run hot during general usage.  Occationally it 
gets above 70degrees.  It is REALLY hot (by feeling fan exhaust) now.

Fan is running full speed; or at least that is how it sounds.  What is 
anaconda doing?

BTW, I noticed that while I was editing just the boot option to pull the 
netinst from my local repo, it started running hot.  And really nothing 
but editing was going on?  I did get an 'over 95 degrees' message after 
I did the ctl-x to get on with the boot, but it did not shutdown, and 
continued with the install.  It seem to cool off while I was configuring 
the disk partitions and selecting the software to install.  It heated up 
again during the install.

Oh, the system is a duo core and I have replaced the 320GB HD with a 
240GB SSD.
