Great job with the Beta. My only problem encountered when installing was that after checking the disc media with passed, pressing continue gave the blank error message and ejected the disc. Booting up again and bypassing the disc check allowed things to proceed without problems.
Items that I did not like were the absence of the setting up boot preference. Of course the default packages are always lacking applications that I use, so retrieval after the initial install of these packages was needed.
Things are much faster on this 64 bit Compaq. Nvidia driver of course is an inconvienience.

I saw this too, thought I just pressed ok too soon. So there is a bug after mediacheck?

Yes, for at least two of us. For bugs that you overcome easily and that only effect the initial installation, they probably effect a lot more people than reported to bugzilla. Overall the new look for Fedora, the default encrypted filesystem, much better GUI package management control and other obviously well thought out improvements to the system comparative to previous versions of Fedora are welcome achievements.
