So the alpha was unusably slow for me in VirtualBox, and eventually became completely disabled due to some PackageKit error which would occur every 30 seconds. So I was looking forward to the beta, but the disc check utility, upon completing, would suddenly not be able to find the disc at all (as per my previous experiences as well), so I had to start over. No big surprise, no big deal. So I continued on my merry way, but when I get to the partition screen and click next, it told me "no devices found." I tried with all the different options, just to be sure. So I started over again. This time it let me by the partition screen, but when I got to the screen about installing productivity software, etc, I checked the development repo option (thinking that made since since I'm on a development release?) but it gave me an error message about it won't use it or something... and then during formatting I get an error: "Error running transaction. There was an error running your transaction for the following reason(s): File conflicts. Details: There were file conflicts when checking the packages to be installed: file /usr/share/locale/../LC_MESSAGES/system-config-firewall.mo conflicts between attempted installs of system-config-firewall...." (etc.)

Anyway, just posting in case this might be helpful to anyone else. I am pretty sure I give up on the development releases for F10.

EDIT: I didn't at first realize that the error message gave me an option other than "Exit Installer," so I went back and unchecked the repo. Installation appears to be progressing normally now. I'll update this thread if I encounter any further problems.

->EDIT: Nope... same result. Same error.

->EDIT: Few days later I tried again from the start. It seems to be working so far...

I too tried the disc check and had the same problem ,,,, no big deal ,,, rebooted and started again, Found that I had to disable all the package repositories for ,,, fedora,,, 9.91 and livna ,,, Just using the rawhide packages cleared up some errors in retrieving packages and the Pups, and or Piruit package manager worked on the Upgrade,,, A fresh install of f10 on a separate disk ,,, ( same computer ,,, I swap out the disks before booting, ) didn't have those problems, Have just done the upgrade and am looking into a few of the errors that I get on the boot screen,,,, ( trying to write them down and where they occur,,, ) I so far know that in the upgrade, Httpd , is showing an error in the perl Mod,,,

Akmods and Kmod packages ,,,, Since my card a Mx4000 is not supported ,, in some ways, is using the default, xorg, 11 ( still looking into it also,,, Other than that not too many problems that I've found so far,,,,

Good Luck with your install Huh !!! So far Mines not been toooo bad,,,, Have Fun with it,,, !!!
