The one feature I want most is an entry in the very first menu which says 
"install using the vesa driver." If the video support gets any more pickey about 
what it will and won't support for chipsets, and any dumber about what it thinks 
it supports but doesn't, we'll be installing on serial terminals again.

I would say slightly over half of all systems I've tried with fc12 and fc13pre 
need boot options to have any stable video, compared with 1 of 14 for servers 
and 1 of 3 laptops for fc11. And the laptop more or less ran but lost video 
after suspend unless I switched to text console, suspended and came back to X 
after restore.
