Thanks for the praise, but the 20 minute pause is somewhat worrying. Did

I did not choose the media select (or at least I don't think I did) and
also saw 20+ minute delays with no progress information while the DVD drive
rapidly read data.  Manually removing "rd.live.check" solved the issue.

Looking at
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/18-Beta-RC1/Fedora/x86_64/os/isolinux/isolinux.cfgquickly
it doesn't seem like that should happen, but perhaps there is
confusion about if the media check option is selected or not (it is the
default).

I cannot get back to the computers I've been testing this on for at least a
few hours though.
