F9 Beta (my first) impressions

[ronald]

Hello
thanks for a new release !

Installation with netinstall.iso:
- installer takes long(er) to "check the dependences" before it
starts 	to download the rpm's (compared to F8, F9 rawhide).
maybe a mirror issue after "spring has sprung".
I changed the standard packages selection (846 packages).

after first boot:
I got this after I took a look at the network settings aand send the oops:

================================================
[ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
------------------------------------------------
/usr/sbin/syste/3196 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
1 lock held by /usr/sbin/syste/3196:
  #0:  (&priv->stats_lock){--..}, at: [<ffffffff88210b71>]
prism54_get_wireless_stats+0x21/0x9c [prism54]

currently there is no firmware installed yet !


and a second one by changing the time zone:

Add/Remove Software (Tab Groups):
gives a box
"No packages cache is avaiable.
Yum cache was invalid and has been rebuilt."

???


okay there are ~200 updates available and if this oopses happen again I 
fill a bz.


I *big* thanks that don't need to deinstall i386 packages on this x86_64 
  box.

suggestions/RFC's:
- A option for ext4 during install would be good.
- A netinst-jigdo would be a good think for rawhide testers, which can't
boot with the current netinstall.iso's or if iso's temp. not available.
(expense/profit ?, I don't know !)


so far
