On my laptop, Toshiba Satellite A205-S4577. Booted from the Gnome Live CD and only got as far as
Loading vmlinuz0 ......................
Loading initrd0.img ...............................
and it hung, just sat there looking at me. Off to figure out how to submit bug report, if one doesn't already exist. Anyone else having this same experience?
Edit: Same thing with the same CD on my desktop box.

This is not a complaint.
This is not whining.
This is just a public comment.
In the past I've not been one to report bugs and / or participate in bugzilla at all. I've had an account there for quite some time now. I thought that with the advent of Fedora 11 Alpha I'd try to help a little with the debugging process since I've always been one to play with the Alphas and Betas of previous Fedora releases. I'd like to be able to contribute something if I can. That said, I ask those who may know, is it just me or is the process for filing a bug extremely confusing? Also trying to figure out exactly where any info I care to report belongs seems extremely difficult.

I was able to run the Gnome and KDE live cd's from a 2GB flash drive. They both were tried on 1 desktop and 2 laptops with Celeron processors. As for filing bug reports I have shied away from them because someone usually has beat me to it but I should send them anyway I guess. :)

Thank you Rahul. I've just now tried to submit a bug report but bugzilla.redhat.com seems to be having problems. I'll give it a shot later on.

Glen, if bugzilla is having issues, please submit a bug report about it to bugzilla :p

No kidding Jake :) I gave up on the first try. I'm currently working on attempt #2. I know that submitting bug reports is helpful to the developers and I'm interested in doing my part so I'll keep at it for a while, assuming of course that this hasn't already been reported.

OK, I managed to submit the report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484498 I used the guided method as I believe that this is my first bug report so I thought that the guided method would be easier. A somewhat lengthy process, understandably, as they need as much info as possible. Excuse me while I got outside and pound my fists on my chest...ala King Kong.
