[Test-Announce] Fedora 17 Alpha Release Candidate 2 (RC2) Available Now!

[Andre Robatino]

**IMPORTANT**: 17 Alpha RC1 was never officially announced - see
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test-announce/2012-February/000...
. I will post delta ISOs for both RC1->RC2 and TC2->RC2.

As per the Fedora 17 schedule [1], Fedora 17 Alpha Release Candidate 2
(RC2) is now available for testing. Content information, including
changes, can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5083 .
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:

Base:

Desktop:

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].
