During install, a lot of interesting stuff can be found in different places: in consoles and in files. To switch to console 2 for example, do Ctrl-Alt-F2 from the X install.
- alt-F1: the stdout of the install. Not very interesting stuff
- alt-F2: simple shell. Quite a lot of commands are available but as they are written in perl (for space), they do not handle the very same options as normally. After install, you can do chroot /mnt to see your system just like after rebooting. rpm -qa works for example.
- alt-F3: a lot of interesting things. Be careful, some ERROR messages are not interesting.
- alt-F4: kernel's place, i.e. the output of dmesg.
- alt-F7: the graphical install lives there
