[Test-Announce] Fedora 18 Beta Test Compose 8 (TC8) Available Now!

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

I'm more concerned with getting sizes down to fix a cheap 4 GB USB
drive than a 4.7 GB DVD. I don't think making install media over 4 GB
is a viable option. I will test with the default desktop and the net
installer before I'll erase one of my expensive 8 GB USB sticks!

How the Hell can the lion sleep with all those people singing "A weem
oh way!" at the top of their lungs?
