Hi,



Second was that when I went to custom configuration for the disks,
there was no format option for ext4. The partitions I used were
already formatted as ext3, and I reformatted them as that and the
install went fine. I was disappointed as I wanted to use the new
filesystem. I will hold off on making the new install comfortable
until this is definitely ruled out.

I believe there's a boot-time option for this you have to pass to the
installer. Have you checked the F10 release notes? I think it's in
there. Yup:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10/en_US/Power_Users_Get_What_Features_and_Fixes.html#sn-EXT4

I don't recall anywhere to enter any boot parameters. After the boot
load started from the DVD, I don't think it stopped for input until it
hit the test/skip option. There was a flash of a fraction of a second of
a screen that had some F-keys at the bottom, I think I saw F4, but that
was all. Maybe there is a timeout issue? I'll install again a few times
to check out the problem.

My apologies Stan, I forgot to mention that you need to hold down a
key during boot -- most people use Ctrl -- to get the screen where you
can enter parameters. (That's in the release notes too, but
regardless...)
