[Test-Announce] Fedora 17 Final Release Candidate 3 (RC3) Available Now!

[Andre Robatino]

As per the Fedora 17 schedule [1], Fedora 17 Final Release Candidate 3
(RC3) is now available for testing. Content information, including
changes, can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5196 .
Please see the following pages for download links (including delta ISOs)
and testing instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide
the fastest download, but download-ib01.fedoraproject.org is available
as a mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To
use it, just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.

meet the Final Release Criteria [6]. Help is available on #fedora-qa on
irc.freenode.net [7], or on the test list [8].

I'm slightly uneasy to install this boot.iso as it looks really small.

It's a network installation image. It retrieves the packages to be
installed from the online repositories. We have always provided such
images for Fedora.

I thought I should report that I was shutting down for the night and got a
kernel-panic; is there a file to look at so that I can report it?

I may not reply for the next 10 hours.
