[ale] Fedora 15

[Wolf Halton]

I have been trying to see what I was doing wrong with the 
Fed-15-live/install disk.  I have gone through installs from the live 
media 3 times on virtualBox.  Fatal error booting from the virtual hard 
drive when the install is over and I reboot.  My install media is an iso 
of the CD (Not DVD).  I cannot emulate hardware video acceleration even 
though I checked 3-d video accel on the settings page for this vm and 
gave it 128M video ram, so Gnome3 is still falling back to 2.5.
