Test3 Week

[ewdi]

Just to let you guys know, Fedora Core2 Test3 will likely be released into public this week.

If there is any schedule slip and delay, i will post on this discussion topic.

[Ug]

Here's to hoping not.

[prisen]

It has been slipped to tomorrow, 27 April. Only one day late - it'll be worth the wait!

Anybody know if it will have the newest kernel? (2.6.5)

[ghaefb]

we can assume that will have 2.6.5...
FC2t1 - 2.6.1
FC2t2 - 2.6.3
FC2t3 - 2.6.5 ?? maybe

FC2final - 2.6.6 :D

kernel-2.6.5-1.327

Taken from the development tree on fedora.redhat.com

[Jman]

I'm still waiting for 2 final.

[Mikha]

Excellent, I'm hoping that the kernel will have support for my Wireless network USB adapter.

[ewdi]

It might have, i just receive suse 9.1 pro from Suse, they come with wireless setup and sniffer, nice tools, i know somewhere on freeBSD they have KissMac or something that were ported to bsd, it's a nice niffty tools

Anybody who wants to know what packages are in test 3, the list is up on Distrowatch (http://www.distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora). I would assume it's fairly accurate.

test teststill not available :mad:
anybody know what happen?:confused:

[foolish]

I just want to remind people once more that this is still a test release.

Test releases are releases prior to the full core releases. Test releases are not like debian unstable, test releases are like the old redhat linux -beta releases. The only purpose of test releases is to get bugs out. If you use a test release and do not report and investigate issues, you are wasting yours and our time.

But if you think you can help the developers (and the rest of us) finding bugs and solving them, install the test release. Especially reports from people with weird hardware are wanted.

If you rely on third party packages, support or a system that works, use stable core releases.

And by the way, torrent up: http://torrent.linux.duke.edu/

[Thoreau]

it's out http://torrent.linux.duke.edu/

[toms]

i am behind big firewall, so i was wondering, if the fc2t3 files on duke.dulug.edu ftp (dated apr-22) are the same, which you download using torrent (i mean - is it the real fc2t3 or should i wait, until they have newer timestamps)

[mars_hall]

I have downloaded disk 1 and it seems to check out with disk 1 from bit torrent.

[Ug]

I've found a site selling them in the UK. :D

So I might buy them when they come online later this week.

[mars_hall]

It looks like they have fixed the disk 1 problem:) Though I am still downloading the rest of the ISOs I tried disk 1 and IT DID BOOT!

[mars_hall]

Just finished install everyting SO GOOD SO FAR :)
