I'm going to guess it's systemd that's the issue, but that's just
pointing a finger at something that I'm not fond of. If it's like my
laptop, I suspect it's one of the network interfaces that are waiting
for something to complete. (My system can take anywhere from 1:15-1:40
to complete and move on.)
If I recall correctly, with CentOS there is a function key that can be
pressed on the install disc that allows you to get "verbose" mode which
just shows the old school "$process [OK|FAIL]" stuff. There may be the
same option for Fedora.
