I'm running FC6 on an Athlon 1.2 GHz, but I did an upgrade from FC5.

30 minutes may not be enough.  You could try waiting longer, or doing a
smaller install, followed by yum'ing the package groups you need.  (After
install, do "yum update yum", then "yum update", then "yum grouplist", then
"yum groupinstall <available groups you want>".)

How much memory is in the machine?  I have 512 MB.  If you have less than
256 MB, be sure to do a text install.
