Soo, you had the "failed x" during install as well?  Was thinking of
doing a text install, but wasn't sure I could get X running afterwards,
since it failed during install.  Wonder what that is about?

So you got X going after install, on boot, by relabeling selinux or
turning it off?  Guess if I do it via text, I might have to install a
few gnome packages or something afterwards?

As far as inittab, that isn't used now with upstart.  I think you have
to edit or change /etc/event.d/*some file* for that, not sure.
Although, I *think* what may be happening as well, is the one line that
is for what run level to use, is being used for now, until decided to
completely not use it at all.
