ANNOUNCE: Severn Test 2 Anaconda Updates Image Available

[Michael Fulbright]

The amount of feedback we've received for the Fedora Core Severn Test 2
has been impressive.  The anaconda team appreciates the time everyone
has taken to test anaconda.

We've put together an update image to address some of the issues which
have been reported against anaconda.  Depending on what kinds of
problems pop up we will consider making another update at a later date.

Please report any problems with this update to bugzilla, and if the
update fixes a problem you reported previously please update that bug
report with the new information.

The update is available at:
    http://people.redhat.com/~msf/severn-test2-updates.img

Here is the README for the update:
    (http://people.redhat.com/~msf/severn-test2-updates.readme)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an updates image for Fedora Core Severn Test 2 which corrects
problems in the anaconda installer.

To use this image use the following command line:

dd if=severn-test2-updates.img of=/dev/fd0

to write the image to a floppy disk. The contents of the disk will be
destroyed.

Then boot the installation media and at the command prompt enter
'linux updates'.

At the appropriate time you will be prompted to insert the updates floppy.

For other install methods if the severn-test2-updates.img file is renamed to
'updates.img' and put in the RedHat/base/ directory of the install tree it
will be used automatically w/o the need to use a floppy disk.
