Thanks for your reply Ronald.  Somebody else on this thread said that 
the fix for the hang I'm getting on boot was to be in today's 
rawhide.  I didn't find the boot.iso.  Will that show up later?  I 
know that F8T2 is due out this week, I was just going to try it to 
see if my problem was fixed.

My plan is to download the DVD and take the boot.iso to make a CD 
that I can boot from.  The rest of the DVD will get put on my 
webserver machine and I'll do an HTTP install from there.  At least 
that's my plan.  Do you think it will work if it boots?

Thanks,
