It's on a vmware guest - don't know how to show the guest ttyS; i get
the hosts ones instead. Anyone know how to view the guests ttyS ?
No idea. Note, I try to test the stuff right now as well, but for some
stupid reason the installation in a KVM guest fails with the last
package (the kernel) anaconda tries to install

So I should continue to try and work out where the issue actually lies ?
I'd be glad, yeah. But note, I'll try to run some test myself as well; I
plan to open a bug in bugzilla.redhat.com when I had a chance to look
deeper into this.
But note, we can't be really sure our comps files is correct. But I hope
it is.

How about having packages appear in two places - eg under
Applications/Sound and Video, and under a repo specific group like
rpmfusion free or non-free?
I think that being in multiple groups is possible ?
Yeah, it is. But I tend to say it might confuse people more then it
helps. Other options?

in what group could someone expect to find the rpmfusion-free or nonfree
-release packages.
Nowhere -- they should automatically get selected if you enable RPM
Fusion (if you enable RPM Fusion during install then you in 99,999% of
the cases want it in the installed system as well). The packages hence
are part of the "Core" group and marked as 'packagereq
type="mandatory"':
http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/comps/comps-f10.xml.in?root=free&view...
Anaconda (as far as I understand things) should install everything from
that (hidden) group automatically.
