This version has a paperbag bug
The x86_64 version has a bug where initrd does not get created correctly.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206453 describes the problem. To fix it you have to create an initrd by hand and edit /etc/grub.conf to point to the file.
Version?
Shouldn't FC1_AMD64 have been announced as a branch, not as a version? This will confuse anyone looking for info about the state of this distribution...
