</div>I just did a default installation in Virtual Box, using the netboot.iso.<br>
One thing--I don't remember if this is a new improvement or not, but I<br>
find it automatically finds the server and gets the packages--I seem to<br>
remember I used to have to manually enter the url.<br>
<br>
Using network, as per what Adam says below, had my network running at<br>
boot. I like the default wallpaper too, nice choices.<br>
<br>
As it was a virtual machine (I guess that's the reason) Gnome 3 failed<br>
to load. I then enabled 3D acceleration in VBox and gave it the<br>
maximum allowable memory (128MB), and tried again. (This doesn't<br>
affect me in real life, where I do minimal installations and use<br>
openbox, but I was curious.) However, still no Gnome 3. I seem to<br>
remember this being a known issue--or perhaps not even considered an<br>
issue, that it won't work in many VMs.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div>About the graphics, I accidentally got a VirtualBox Guest Additions 4.0.5 (yes, it's a development build) ISO which supports Fedora 15 by fully supporting gold release of xorg-server 1.10. It was originally posted in vbox-users mailing list some a week ago.<div>
