The official answer to this is that FC5 test 3 is *not* for general use.
The phrase "it eats babies" has been used. Expect bugs. The Fedora
developers expect you to look for bugs and report them.

For example,

So what happens when you try to mount a CD?

(Incidentally, automounting CDs is changing somewhat for FC5, and this
seems to still be settling out).
