Fedora 14 Nightly Compose Install

[Bob Cochran]

  Someone kindly pointed me to 
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ to grab a Fedora 
14 live image and I helped myself to the "Deskstop" x86_64 image 
yesterday. Installed this on an old x86_64 system with an Asrock 
motherboard. The installation actually went pretty nicely and was quick, 
and it did sort of boot. But the boot process came to a halt with an 
error message that I've forgotten and dumped me into a bash shell, when 
I was expecting a graphical login screen. A 'yum update' didn't fix 
things. Running 'startx' from the bash prompt didn't work. I did ome 
Googling and maybe I'll check the grub configuration for 'nomodeset' 
entries to remove. Maybe I'll just install Fedora 13 on this hardware 
and wait a bit on 14 even though Firefox x86_64 in Fedora 13 appears to 
bring the entire graphical system to its knees. Or maybe there is a bug 
in metacity.

Thanks
