"Fedora-7 Test Live CD"
Your problem is the word "Test" in there. Why do people expect
testing releases to work perfectly? How about comparing with the
Fedora Core 6 Live CD before bashing Fedora for not working.

Did you try the test list, rather than here?

When I installed F7T1, I had to manually load a kernel module for it
to read the DVD. This was a known problem with the nv_sata (I think)
module not getting loaded automatically. What hardware did you test
this on?
