Followed the instructions, but the screen is still not correct when
trying to use the Live CD for FC13.
I added the xdriver=vesa nomodeset kernel variables to the end of the
line (which was long enough.) Should I be placing them somewhere else
in the line. The FAQ states to add them.
I'll try booting with Disk 1 and see what happens. (It did work for FC9
but Disk 2 was corrupt as well as Disk 4.)
