this and several other changes (such as package kit and network manager).
I have to agree, FC10 is absolutely the worst install available. I have it
on five machines now, and in every case I had to do video tricks to get a
working display. I think the people who put in that animated boot display
took control, and were more concerned with having people oh and ah over the
animation that have a working default video mode like 800x600, and have the
graphics *fit* instead of depending on screen scrolling, which also doesn't
work on several machines I tried, even if you know it's there.
I have still been giving out FC9 DVDs to people, FC10 is just geek material
as far as I'm concerned. FC10 is great software, but a hideous install.
Bill, I'm not disputing your experience. I've only installed F10 on a single
machine, my eeepc 901, but on that machine it "just works".
As there is a LOT of variance from one machine to the next, I don't
doubt that there are those where it is less smooth than my experience.
