Core 5 Schedule delayed

[tom_hall]

Hi - I see that FC 5 Test 2 is not going to be available until Jan 16th, however the schedule says "In addition to these releases, the nightly trees will usually be installable"

Where are these nightly trees ? :confused: - perhaps I'm looking in the wrong forrest ?

Thanks - that should keep me busy over Xmas :)

Ok - I've downloaded & burnt & booted from the boot.iso & I've told it to go to a mirror

My network card's light is almost permanently on so I assume it's downloading - should there be any on-screen progress indication ?

Any ideas on how long before things start happening

(I'm on 10-meg cable in the UK, and the mirror I managed to get in is fedora.mirrored.ca)

Might take around 15 mins

I gave it over 1/2 hour, but nothing happened, so I rebooted & started again, and this time it worked -
Thanks & Love the bubbles ! ;)

One last question - do I need to download a new boot.iso for each tree ?

You need different ISO images for different architectures and versions in Fedora. The ISO images are updated to boot up into the host environment suitable for the version and architecture of the installation which is unique in the binary form.

I experienced a bug with the latest boot.iso and kernel .1783. If he is indeed installing directly from the rawhide tree, how is it working for him?

Because the network boot images are updated on a regular basis and rawhide changes rapidly. So it might work on one day and fail in another. Thats the nature of the beast. If you have trouble, post to the fedora-test list and try again.

Yesterday's build (dated 25th Dec), seems to have problems ...
(I've downloaded the boot.iso from two different mirrors)
I get an "Oops 0003 [#1]" error followed by a dump when I try to do a url install

-Tom :(

current rawhide tree works (only raid is broken)
