RH 7.3 install

[Joe Clever]

Hi,

I ran into the same problem as Janina when I installed RH 7.2 from ISO's I
downloaded at the end of March.  I attributed it to my ignorance of speakup
or something about the new  Dell Inspiron notebook I was trying to install
it on.  I am partially sighted, so was able to get through the installation.
I also encountered a corrupted display on the first screen of the install.
I hit a key and that cleared up the display problem... ???
