I doubt this is alpha more like a beta or almost a release I should say...

Hey,

I am amazed with the stability of the Fedora 10 Alpha. Other then Evolution crashing couple of time, I use anything that I use in production environment incl. Eclipse, GCC, rpmdev-tools, gnome, openoffice, compiz & evolution.

So I am amazed. Good work from Fedora Team congratulations....

And, yes, I already dumped F9 and using F 10.... Luv it.

I have couple of advices for those that like leaving on the edge like me.

1) If you would like to use plymouths beatiful boot up screen, add vga=792 to your kernel params in grub.conf right after rhgb quite.

2) To get rid of nasty plymouth usage infos on service failures,
vi into /etc/init.d/functions,
find the failure() funtion
remark the line with '#'
[ -x /usr/bin/rhgb-client ] && /usr/bin/rhgb-client --details=yes
to
#[ -x /usr/bin/rhgb-client ] && /usr/bin/rhgb-client --details=yes

3) Yo do not have to use 2.6.27 series kernel to be able to use F 10 Alpha. If nvidia installation problems holding you from using F 10.

what you need to do is:
Download F 9 kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-headers.
Install (!!!Not update as always with the kernels) with --force to allow downgrading
Boot with the 2.6.26 series kernel and let the dkms install your nvidia kernel module.

Now,
One last tiny thing I want to get rid of, NetworkManager flooding the console with info messages. I added " 2>&1 > /dev/null" every place I see "NetworkManager" in /etc/init.d/NetworkManager with no luck

If anyone has a clue on that I would like to hear.

Enjoy,
Hasan Ceylan
