Hi! All,

Am surprised that the community is so quiet on the launch of a new 
release. Fedora 11 is supposed to be great, I have not seen it yet and 
am waiting to get hold of the media, but really guys, there should be 
some fanfare at each release. The ambassadors need to ensure that some 
noise is made in each city and that the media is made available. At 
least IMHO. Whats the point of a thriving community if this is not done.

Cheers...Kishore

We are overawed. Can't find words to describe the joy. :-)

I am planning to distribute medias in Mumbai but i just dont have any
media or the bandwidth to download FC11. If anyone can spare any
medias would be really better. For me to distribute them & get as many
systems upgraded as much as possible.

Ask the CD/DVD peddlers around CST. Seriously.

Lol what i guess is they would be having it in some days & not
rightnow. And well in those somedays my downloads might complete. So
why to waste time. Hoping for the best.

I agree. There are a couple of events/parties lined up. Most of them
are around the later days of the month since they are awaiting the
shipment of the bulk produced media. However, nothing does stop the
Ambassadors from coming together using a UG meet or, just an informal
chat session and, have a romp talking about and spreading the Fedora
message of 4Fs.

I am trying to distribute as many FC11 dvds as much as possible. Till
now did 8 dvds.

I  downloaded and installed F11 on an older system that I have. I have to
admit, the boot process is very appealing visually and pretty much
everything looks nice and sharp. Sadly, the system has an intel video card
(i845 i think) and videos refuse to play on it =(. This is a known issue and
a heads up for people with Intel video cards, please be sure to test it out
in the live cd mode. This really isn't a Fedora issue, the Intel video card
drivers are undergoing a complete rewrite at Intel which is going to cause
much breakage and grief for some time (a couple of months perhaps). Until
then, IMHO, it's best to stick to F9/F10 or whatever works perfectly for
you.

Try booting with "nomodeset".

I've tried all the workarounds mentioned in the common bugs list, to no
avail. nomodeset, changing the accelmode option for the intel device etc.
I've finally given up an am using the vesa driver which works alright for
now (can play videos and listen to music).
