Odd. Did you try the 'eject' command from tty2? I doubt it would have 
worked, but worth a try.

Hrmm, post install script failed. Should be minor, though.

The core font install script was intended to be run from a more full 
featured environment. It should display the EULA using less. 'q' should 
allow you to quit the EULA.

No idea. I've seen this myself after an install using both the stock 
installer or slinky.

Please try this:
Login (or su) root.
You need to install expat-1.95.5-2.i386.rpm from the first CD.
(rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/Redhat/RPMS/expat-1.95.5-2.i386.rpm)
Then, run fc-cache

log out, and back in. startx should work.

expat is currently included as part of the network package list, I'll have 
to move it to the base or tinyx package group. It wasn't an issue before, 
as both the KDE and Gnome groups pulled in the network group.
