Hi David
Thanks for your attention
I am using Redhat Enterprise Linux 4. Do you think I should try Fedora Core
5?

Best Regards
Ali

Problem Testing Anaconda

[David Cantrell]

It depends on what your goal is.  It's going to be unpleasant to work on
rawhide anaconda on RHEL4, so if you want to do that, you should
consider using rawhide.

You can check out the RHEL4 branch of anaconda from CVS as well.  It's
named 'rhel4-branch'.

Hi David
Sorry, but I do not know the meaning of rawhide. Would please explain it
more?

Problem Testing Anaconda

[David Cantrell]

Ah, sorry about that.  Rawhide is technically called Fedora Development
(I guess).  It's the active development tree for the next release of
Fedora Core.  Trees are updated daily.  More info:

I would point you at a URL on fedoraproject.org, but I can't find
anything in that wiki at the moment.

But understand that rawhide is not a release, it's just an ongoing tree
that changes daily.  If you want to jump in to that world, be sure to
get on fedora-test-list and/or fedora-devel-list.
