Buggy RC, couldn't install

I tried to install x86_64 10.3 RC using 1cd KDE on amd opteron system. It had lot of issues. If online repositories are enabled, installer gives conflict message telling both i386 and x86_64 are selected. Also I don't understand why installer wants to download both i386 and x86_64 pattern.gz files. In 10.2, it was worse: it downloaded all i386, x86_64 and ppc pattern files during network installation for an i386 machine. Too many conflicts to resolve, so I disabled online repositories and went ahead and installed. X is broken and I got command line asking for login. When I enter root, it says login incorrect. When I press some arbitrary string, it asks for passwd, and then gives the same message. Also while booting I see lot of error messages like internet devices not configured....... I guess, the installer was not finished before automatic reboot. Post-install configuration options were not displayed before the initial reboot. But before reboot, all the packages were installed.
