I think the issue is the brain-dead installer, not fc18 itself, since it's 
working well installed on an empty machine. The fact that I have not been able 
to get it into dual boot mode is an issue, it recognizes neither WinXP nor fc17 
in a new boot/root pair with shared swap and home.boot/root, even though fc18 is 
installed. Means we can't use it on laptops.
