Third, testing the rescue CD is more important than testing the install media. The rescue CD has a history of being the forgotten stepchild, and has often had serious bugs (even showstoppers and data corruption), yet _every_ installation is a potential user of the rescue CD.

Well, two attempts at a rawhide-based install was no good.
So, I ended up installing from the torrent FC6Pre isos and NFS from my other laptop.
I did not attempt installing Fedora Extras or all of the games and entertainment. Now, the NFS-based install went very smooth.
I created a user account after the installation was complete due to the already known firstboot problem.
I have a Dell Precision M60 so far FC6 is beautiful.
Thanks to the Fedora team and other contributors. Great Job!!!
Thanks, Ernest
