As there is still not yet a pre-release build and time is getting short I 
tried to install rawhide from 13.Apr with boot.iso over network.

This is HP Pavilion with Athlon 64 X2 CPU, but I tried to install i386. I 
was not able to get with installation past first dialog, because PS2 
keyboard is always lost. This was true for both i386 graphical and i386 
textmode install.

Then I tried x86_64 version - this one looses keyboard after GUI is 
started. The only way to install was x86_64 textmode.

After install keyboard and mouse works.. but to get past install was 
pretty tricky - this was "failover" method...

After default netinstall I tried to add KDE group. yum grouplist lists the
KDE (K Desktop Environment) isw listed twice as available group, but you 
can not install it
# yum groupinstall 'KDE (K Desktop Environment)'
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Group Process
No packages in any requested group available to install or update
