[Test-Announce] Fedora 17 Beta Release Candidate 1 (RC1) Available Now!

[Andre Robatino]

As per the Fedora 17 schedule [1], Fedora 17 Beta Release Candidate 1
(RC1) is now available for testing. Content information, including
changes, can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5141 .
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.

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