I tried installing F-10 from the hard disk

1. The cursor is not visible.
Occasionally something lights up, to show where the cursor is
(eg when specifying one's location),
but on other occasions it does not seem to be active at all
(eg when nominating partitions for / , etc).

2. The display extends below the bottom of my screen,
and there seems to be no way of moving to the bottom,
where the "Continue" button is hidden.
I can move on by pressing TAB several times
and guessing where I have got to.
Quite often I hit the Back button by mistake,
which is rather annoying.

Ok, now I got you. You mean the install CD is choosing the wrong
resolution; so, you can't install FC-10.
Anyone know if "Do they still provide the text-only install option on
FC-10?"

i ran into precisely the same problem -- the main F10 dialog is
located far too low on the display, with the lower portion with the
relevant buttons not visible. choosing a "text" display was a
workaround, but it's still somewhat inconvenient.

p.s. f10 (x86_64) on gateway MX7120 laptop.

p.p.s. should this stuff not be discussed on the fedora-test-list?
