    Hi folks,

    This is about a fresh install of FC3 that won't boot into X to
    complete the install (post install steps).

    The system:
     1.8 GHz Athlon XP
    ASUS A7V333 mb
    1 Gig ram
    Buslogic 958 SCSI controller
    18 Gig SCSI drive (seagate)
    NVIDIA graphics 64Mb (I forgot which chip it is, but it is AGP 4X)

    Downloaded & verified the FC3 CDs. Booted CD 1 and tested all media.
    All passed. Then, installed onto a clean HDD. I selected my packages
    (custom install) and install proceeded without problem. At the end of
    the install, it asked me to reboot. I did. The system came up to the
    point of a grey screen with a large mouse pointer. No desktop loaded.
     I checked the consoles and they showed no errors. I created 3
    partitions: 1--boot (500Mb) 2--home (10Gig) 3--/ (7.5Gig or so). I
    can mount these partitions from my RH 7.3 installation, and it shows
    that none of them filled up.

    Will someone please help me fix this system so that it can boot and I
    can configure it?

    Many thanks,

    Mark
