I tried F10 on my laptop (an easynote J51) and it didn't go past the "press here to install" screen: yep, it crashed few later :p
Reading here and there, it may depends on the NVidia graphic adapter not being recognized, but I am unable to reach the setup menu in which I could've selected the "text mode".
It would imho be a good idea to add it in the very first screen....
btw, maybe at the time of release I will give it another chance.

My first try at F10 was yesterday, on VirtualBox-2.0.2, which also happened to be my first attempt at VirtualBox.

Things went very poorly. I only got as far as loading the CD. A hard reset was required.

Hm. This machine only has 512 MB RAM, which I know is very inadequate, so I only gave 256 MB to the VM, which was the minimum. I'm thinking that the problem was probably there?
