Bob,

the ISO's or a tleast some are very screwed up it more a sysimage thing, 
just type spme BS on the line like where you type  linux text <enter>
type  text <enter> yes yes thats an error but when it says thats an error 
you can then type in linux text <enter> and fof you go, not very good for 
n official release to be this fscked I know but it seems tyo be a sign of 
things to come with fedora over past couple years teh guys who do QC 
should be sacked.
Cheers
