FC4 does not work, "out of the box" for me; GUI/X11 fails

[Daniel B. Thurman]

Well.. I discovered WHY I had a problem.  I Yum installed
inside the Fedora Rescue environment which did a very weird
installation that rendered it impossible to remove these
and many other installations that used scriptlets (%preun,
%postun etc).  That is why I had to start over from scratch
and Yum install in a level 3 boot.  See previous posting that
explains it.

I have regularly done 'everything' installs, as well. I now remember having 
this issue as well, but, removing the GFP-kernel, gnbd-kernel, and cman-1.0 
was no problem, for me. I'm not sure why you had a problem. That, just to let 
you know that at least me, it did work.
