[Test-Announce] Fedora 18 Alpha Test Compose 5 (TC5) Available Now!

[Andre Robatino]

As per the Fedora 18 schedule [1], Fedora 18 Alpha Test Compose 5 (TC5)
is now available for testing. Content information, including changes,
can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5284#comment:11
. 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.

Installation:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test

Base:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test

Desktop:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test

Ideally, all Alpha priority test cases for Installation [2], Base [3],
and Desktop [4] should pass in order to meet the Alpha Release Criteria
[5]. Help is available on #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net [6], or on the
test list [7].

So I gave this a quick test in the VM and my conclusion is that the
installer is still way too broken even for an alpha release.
Selecting a language? Crash.
Telling it to create a disk layout at the review screen? Crash.

(Both are in bugzilla).

Finishing to fight with it to get the live install done -> system does not boot.

<rant>Unrelated to the alpha but the UI still looks very unpolished
(ex: why does the installation screen still say "PERSONALIZATION" ) ?
And "Quit" on the live image should not reboot the system but just
close anaconda IMO. </rant>

It's (pre)Alpha software.

nah , try to boot /dev/sr0 when you are booting on /dev/sdb 

but you do dd from what netinstall, dvd ? 

anyway to install from USB I use : 
yum install livecd-tools
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 
/usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk boot.iso /dev/sdb1
