Bugs

 * On VMware, to avoid bugs with Xorg, select Specify monitor settings: on the Display tab, and set the maximum resolution to 1024x768. It is not known whether this bug affects users using VirtualBox for installing this build or not.

Setup
You have to select Install Fedora in basic graphics mode (which is found on the troubleshoot menu upon booting into the DVD) otherwise Xorg will segfault, forcing you to do a minimal install with the text installer. This build also has problems rebooting from the installer. Once you reach the rebooting stage, wait for a few minutes, and reboot your machine. This only applies to VMWare, it does not apply to VirtualBox.
