Thanks Ben! I can at least say that starting a live cd is fixed (but could not be built by the time the ISO was made). So if you encounter a black screen, Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to another tty, login as root, run "finish-install", and then "service sddm restart". That should get you past that without any issues.
