Thanks for the feedback, but just a reminder that the release candidates
have not yet been built.  A assume your results are against the 'test
compose #1' TC1.  The Release candidate (RC1) is expected Thu 2010-10-21

Can you initiate the bug process so we can work the specifics of the
display problems?  When in doubt ...

If you are doing a media-based non-network install (aka DVD or CD), you
need to tell the installer that you want networking enabled by default
on the installed system (see
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#sn-Netconfig-x86-edit).

If you are doing a network-based installation, networking is enabled by
default on the installed system.
