Since week ago I did a GUI install of F11 from a DVD I guess I believe that the GUI install works. But maybe not for your hardware. What hardware do you have and how did you try exactly to do the GUI install. For example which option did you pick from the boot screen?
It's a machine that has successfully used the GUI install for all recent versions of Fedora before F11. It has an AMD Duron CPU, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD. I myself did a successful GUI F11 install on a machine with a much slower CPU and half the RAM, so that's probably not it. We used the default option, but tried adding "xdriver=vesa" and "acpi=off" with no luck. The GUI in anaconda works fine right up to the point where the "creating filesystem on /dev/sda1" window starts and Xorg starts using ~95% of the CPU. We let it run for almost a day with no progress, so it's not just slow. It normally should complete in less than a minute. We are attempting a clean install using the entire drive, the simplest possible case. All choices on the previous pages are the defaults.
