Also, Fedora is not yet supported by the installer.  The support for 
each distribution must be coded into the installer.  Changes in going 
from RH9 to Fedora require not just a new package list for the 
installer, but use of a new version of the package manager rpm.  So, 
more fundamental changes to the installer must be completed before it is 
ready for use w/ FC2.  At least, this is my understanding from 
conversations here on the list about a month ago...
