I have not yet tried the .iso's yet.
(busy with other things at the moment),
from what you're telling me it seems they must have left out
something in the .config. "Shit" this means you can't even load the .iso itself
for the initial install. Maybe you should let them know about this(I
don't use fedora that much)
If need be, try a stable version of the O.S(fedora). so you can load
2.6.26, and then if time permits
you, update to that of the development version.(that is until you get
an answer from the
maintainers of this .iso with the issue).
regards;
