I attempted to do the install to hard disk and failed.  I was trying to install it on a USB attached drive and got the following error each time I tried:

"An error occurred trying to format sdb1.  This is a serious problem, and install cannot continue."

The drive was previously partitioned using gparted and sdb1 is a 100MB partition.  I noticed that as the error was being reported that a "recently plugged devices" window popped up, so I assume that the USB connection is getting lost when attempting to format it via anaconda.

KDE 4 is pretty cool and works well on a dell inspiron 9400 with intel wireless, dell bluetooth and ati mobility x1400.  Both wireless and wired networks connections work perfectly, correct 1920x1200 resolution.
