| F18 Development Pretty much exactly what it sounds like it is. This is the place to discuss and assist in the community development of F18, post Alpha.
WARNING: Any pre-release versions, Beta included, are for experienced testers only. Back up all existing data and read all threads in the version Development Forum before attempting an install. Errors can and will likely occur which may include data destruction or inability to boot other partitions on any and possibly all attached hard drives.
While FedoraProject needs and appreciates testers, you must remember to report issues directly to Bugzilla, after checking for pre-existing bugs. |

Re: Fedora18 Schedule & Feature List
basically, yeah, the current plan is to do a short f19 cycle to get back on our historic track.

Re: Fedora18 Schedule & Feature List
There was a post on the devel@ list about it recently. I think he said it's in now - not sure which releases it's in, but I think the packages have all been approved. Check devel@ archives.

Re: Fedora18 Schedule & Feature List
Will be possible, in the final release, to install grub2 on a partition instead of the MBR?

No. That will not be possible. But, as Adam has mentioned before, it is possible to choose not install a bootloader.

Anyway, I have always let Anaconda install grub on a partition (not on the MBR) and never had a problem ...

On the other hand, if you have some issues with some programs, then continue until the 15th when the F18 version will be released, and the updates will be open completely
If there is still a problem, use the latest DVD image that will be available for download on that date.
