It booted up and had a lot of messages flashing by on the screen. I was 
running SELinux targeted and enforcing.
After the initial boot. I tried to start X as a reqular user. This got 
the monitor to switch to graphics, but you could not ping the machine 
from another box or ssh into the computer.

After a hard reset, there were many file errors relating to inodes. Then 
I was able to fsck and correct many inode errors and boot into a terminal.

I then suspecting SELinux needing relabeling, ran fixfiles relabel in a 
tty. I then rebooted and X locked hard again (541).

Trying to fsck again, then boot into an earlier kernel that was working 
fine also had many errors relating to inodes and even lost + found. At 
this point, I just decided to boot into another installation and 
reformat the test installation and mount it to download the test 
candidate into the newly created and large partition (7 gig)

It looks like the http transfer has slowed down to 14 KB/sec. This makes 
completion to be around 4PM. I guess I'll wait for it to complete.

It's great that the ppc rawhide version is still working great.
