Yep, did one yesterday myself, although the fonts have some work.  Not
all too solid if you ask me.  Like some of the lettering was faded, or
the color shall I say.

Yep, had the same thing happen to me.

IIRC it worked for me, but I don't remember now.

Yep, ran into the same problem.

I also noticed that root doesn't get the same bash prompt as normal
user, also that yum.cron is no longer in /etc/crontab/daily/ dir.

This may also have been noticed, but during the install when trying to
add a repository, it would only let me add a http or ftp URL, not file
or for anything local.  At least not file:// in any case.
