I added some context back. As it is, I waited 7 minutes, then used
Ctrl-Alt-F7 to see the login screen. Boot process should not require
the user to switch terminals to get to the login screen. My guess is I
could have watched the spinner forever and not seen the login screen
without intervening.

Why?

This was an unsatisfactory experience, for me. All I can do is
list a number of observations and provide more info or bug
report(s), if someone will specify.
The md5sum of the iso was verified with md5sum -c and the dd to
usb key was verified against the known good iso with writecd -cmp

*Cosmetic: The first wait screen after choosing the default
Install menu item is larger than my monitor; the second wait
screen, after making the initial settings for keyboard, etc. is
smaller than my monitor:

Eventually, the login screen fits and is beautiful.
*Date, Clock & Time Zone Settings incorrectly lists the local time
as UTC and UTC time as local. I select the correct local time,
i.e. 4:30, which is how I set my BIOS and which is associated with
"Machine set to UTC", the BIOS clock is set to UTC. I have never
seen this before.
*After about 20 minutes waiting at the wait screen before
installation begins, I go to tty and find the Partitioning step at
F7. This is unacceptable, if it happens in other instances.
*I did not see the "Clean /tmp at boot" option. Can this be
available?
*At first boot of the installation, the wait screen resolution is
too large|too small before|after the first time settings.
*After watching the 'wait' spinner for about 7 minutes, I found
the login screen at F7. This is not right.
