[Andre Robatino]

As per the Fedora 18 schedule [1], Fedora 18 Beta Test Compose 2 (TC2)
is now available for testing. Content information, including changes,
can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5349#comment:2 .
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 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].

I did 2 runs installing from the DVD image using KVM. Anaconda stalls
indefinitely at the very end of the installation, while doing
'Configuring installed system'.

In the terminal I can see anaconda eating up 100% CPU. Attaching strace
reveals a continues stream of:
--- SGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0x4} ---
rt_sigreturn()

Last messages from anaconda.log:
INFO anaconda: All kickstart %%post script(s) have been run

I gave it a reboot and this got me to firstboot and to the desktop.

That seems to be this issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=862801

I don't see it, it seems to hit just some configurations. Jurgen, can you please post
all important logs into that bug?

Thanks.

1. Anaconda Freezes at "installing Software" but installation process
completes successfully

2. Selinux: unable to find usable policy file: No such File or Directory

not sure bec i can
    login with the user created on firstboot at runevel 3

4. Background image of Grub is still FC17 default one

I don't think the missing ifconfig (as stated in your bz comment) is a bug. 
Those tools are deprecated for eons and if it's finally possible to not install 
them by default, I think that's fine. Other distributions already managed to do 
this some time ago. Use the ip command from the iproute2 package.

That said, giving up a habit is not always as easy as one wants it to be (I 
regularly use the net-tools stuff myself when available), so the net-tools 
package will probably stay with us for another few eons.

The network breakage on your VM doesn't seem related to the missing net-tools 
package. I just installed a fresh F18 VM from TC2 netinstall media and network 
connectivity is just fine.
