Tried and failed

I tried to install FC3 on a laptop (Compaq Presario 722US - it has neither the Intel nor the nVidia graphics) that happily ran Mandrake 10.1 Community. FC3 couldn't detect my video card correctly (which Mandrake had no problem with) and when it got to the post-install configuration steps, the display was mangled to the point where I could not accept the license agreement because the buttons were invisible and unclickable using the mouse or keyboard. Without accepting the license, your only choice is to remove the software which is what I did.

I suppose I could try it again on another machine, but Mandrake works right out of the gate, so why should I?
