Announcing Fedora 7 Test 2 ( 6.91)<BR><BR><BR>Welcome to Fedora 7 Test
2<BR><BR>I am please to announce the second test release for Fedora
7.<BR><BR>Downloads<BR>========<BR>DVD and network installation are
available.<BR>Please read the Important Warnings below in this announcement
for more <BR>details.<BR><BR><A
href="http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/">http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/</A><BR>The
recommended method of download is via BitTorrent from this site.<BR><BR><A
href="http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html">http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html</A><BR>HTTP,
FTP, and RSYNC downloads are available from Fedora Project mirrors<BR>listed
above. Note that not all mirrors may be synced at this
time.<BR><BR>***Important Warnings about the Test Release***
<BR><BR>Problems with mkinitrd<BR>========<BR>This test release has an rpm
ordering issue that seems to affect some people<BR>with regard to mkinitrd
being installed correctly. If your install seems to<BR>stall at
installing the kernel and never continues, please try the updates <BR>image
<A
href="http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/updates-f7t2.img">http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/updates-f7t2.img</A>.
Refer to<BR><A
href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Updates">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Updates
</A>for more information on using<BR>updates images.<BR><BR>Upgrading with
PATA Hard Disks<BR>========<BR>If you are using PATA (parallel or "original"
style ATA) hard disks and you<BR>attempt to do a manual yum upgrade to this
release, you may be unable to boot <BR>your system when finished. To avoid
this problem, use the installer program<BR>(Anaconda) to upgrade your system
instead of using yum.<BR><BR><BR><BR>New in Fedora 7 Test
2<BR>========<BR>This test release includes significant new versions of many
key components and <BR>technologies. The following sections provide a brief
overview of major<BR>changes from the last release of Fedora.<BR><BR>Merger
of Core and Extras<BR>========<BR> * The Fedora Core
and Extras software repositories are being merged, <BR>resulting in a shared
infrastructure and a single repository of packages to<BR>which everyone is
invited to contribute.<BR><BR> * Fedora 7 Test 2 is
packaged initially as a Desktop/Development<BR>Workstation/Server
implementation, called "Prime". This spin is delivered in <BR>DVD
iso format only as a trial, see<BR><A
href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-February/msg00993.html">https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-February/msg00993.html</A><BR>for
the discussion on this. <BR><BR> * Many more packages
are available in the development
repositories.<BR><BR> * Three targetted spins are now
under discussion: Fedora Prime, Fedora<BR>KDE, and Fedora Everything.
See<BR><A
href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureFedoraTargettedSpins">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureFedoraTargettedSpins</A>
for more<BR>details.<BR><BR>Live CD<BR>========<BR> *
This test release includes an i386 ISO for a Desktop Live CD. This
Live<BR>CD features the ability to install to a hard disk using the same
graphical <BR>Anaconda installer as the non-live CD
variant.<BR><BR>Desktop<BR>========<BR> * This test
release features GNOME 2.17.91.<BR><BR> * A brand new
Echo icon theme is included as the default in this release.<BR>This icon
theme is incomplete, but with appropriate feedback and progress, <BR>may
become the default in the general release.<BR><BR> *
KDE and Xfce, among several other packages, are included in
the<BR>development repositories, but not on the media. They can be installed
using<BR>the appropriate software management tools.
<BR><BR> * Fast User Switching is now available via
the fast-user-switch-applet.<BR>See <A
href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureFastUserSwitching">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureFastUserSwitching
</A>for
more<BR>details.<BR><BR>Performance<BR>========<BR> *
System performance is generally slower in the test releases as
compared<BR>to the general release since we enable several options that help
with<BR>debugging. <BR><BR>System
Administration<BR>========<BR> * System
administration tools may be modified under the testing
process.<BR><BR>System Level
Changes<BR>========<BR> * Fedora 7 Test 2 features a
2.6.21rc1 based kernel. Current release <BR>information is being tracked on
the kernel release notes source page.<BR>(<A
href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Kernel">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Kernel</A>)<BR><BR>Amanda<BR><BR>Users
who upgrade from older releases need to read the amanda.conf
and<BR>amanda-client.conf man pages to learn about the the new syntax for
calling<BR>amandad, as well as edit the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda configuration
file to<BR>follow the new syntax.<BR><BR>Road Map And Release Schedule
<BR>========<BR> * <A
href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/7/">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/7/</A><BR><BR>Intended
Audience for Test Releases<BR>========<BR>Test 1 is targeted for developers,
who use it "at their own risk", and <BR>contains many bleeding edge
packages.<BR><BR>Test 2 is for early adopters. Most things should work and
we need to your help<BR>to find what is broken.<BR><BR>Test 3 is for early
adopters. Most things should work and we need to your help <BR>to find what
is broken.<BR><BR>Test 4 is for beta users. This is the time when we must
have full community<BR>participation. Without this participation both
hardware and software<BR>functionality suffers.<BR><BR>Quality Assurance for
Test Releases <BR>========<BR>The Fedora Project has a process in place for
ensuring the highest possible<BR>quality even in our test releases. Many
bugs are identified, prioritized and<BR>fixed during the testing process. We
also have a list of known bugs in this <BR>release. Refer to <A
href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/7/Test2TreeTesting">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/7/Test2TreeTesting</A>
for<BR>more details.<BR><BR>Translations of Release Notes<BR>========<BR>Due
to the rapidly changing nature of test releases, translations of release
<BR>notes for test releases are not practical. The initial goal is to have
a<BR>translation of the release notes included in the test4 release and to
allow<BR>community review and correction before the general release. As
always, the <BR>general release is translated following the established
practices for<BR>localization (l10n) and internationalization (i18n)<BR>(<A
href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N</A>),
which result in comprehensive, <BR>high-quality release notes in a variety
of languages.<BR><BR>About Fedora<BR>========<BR>Fedora is a set of projects
sponsored by Red Hat and guided by the<BR>contributors. These projects are
developed by a large community of people who <BR>strive to provide and
maintain the very best in free, open source software<BR>and standards. The
central Fedora project is an operating system and platform<BR>based on Linux
that is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute, <BR>now and
forever.<BR><BR>You can help the Fedora Project community continue to
improve Fedora if you<BR>file bug reports and enhancement requests. Refer
