DVD Install of Fedora 16 Beta on a 768 mb 800 MHz P iii was successful.
I used a custom Fedora partition.  Anaconda did not recognize the FreeDOS
partition, but Grub2 did!  FreeDOS and Win XP both boot from the installed
Grub2.

The display card is an Nvidia P162  MX 440 GF5200 AGP.
About a quarter inch is cut off from the screen on a 14 inch
Norwood VGA interface LCD.   The menu entries on the top
of the Gnome 3 workspace are unreadable.

I tried an ATI card and a Matrox card without success.
