I got about 173 packages of new development packages. I presume that 
they are less desirable than the half-dozen or so packages in the update 
repository. Gimp had a conflict that needed resolved. I installed about 
half of the 173 packages, then rebooted into Fedora Core 1 to burn the ISOs.

Also, I concur with the gnome shutdown and error reporting screen 
showing, then disappearing before you could send the report.

Also, I see the same problem with screensavers in the more system tools 
area, along with other programs. This did not show on one of my two 
installs, but is on the clean install of development. I'm finishing up 
burning the 4th iso now and will clean install a copy of Fedora2 test 1 
shortly.
