Fedora core development <W00t>

[Norman Madden]

I downloaded the core 2 beta last night.
I burned the boot.iso to a mini cd and did the ftp install off: mirror.
hiwaay.net

from directory:
redhat/fedora/linux/core/development/i386

Success!

My Epson Perfection 1670 USB Scanner now works under Fedora core 1.90
via Xsane 0.92

Hats off to all Xsane and Fedora developers <g>

is this really the official  "fedora core 2 test1"  ??
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/RELEASE-NOTES-x86-en.html

i would expect it here, eg:
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/  /1.96/

http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule/
2 february , test1,  DELAYED

I would think so, chris and the guys at hiwaay are usually on top of things.
You're downloading from Huntsville, Alabama though. ;)

And what's wrong with that? :-)

However, that is not the FC2 test release; it is just the rolling
development tree.  FC2 test1 will probably be real close to the current
dev tree, but it isn't quite wrapped yet.  When it is, it'll appear
under the .../fedora/linux/core/test directory.

This is rawhide!! You are getting a sneak preview of what is to come.

Once it is released it should be here. It has NOT been released yet.

Note the word delayed above. Please be patient. This stuff takes time
and shows why Red Hat never publically released the dates of RHL until
it was actually released.

doing mine now... still retreiving stage2.img....... okay... now i'm in
anaconda.  For FTP installs, I think a rotating twirly like \ | / - would be
good to show that the system is still downloading.  A MB/sec meter would be
even better.

My NEC MultiSync LCD 1720M wasn't in the monitor list.... no biggie.

Uh oh... I'll have to bail.  Only the PATA drives were detected.  My LSI
320-1 scsi raid card wasn't detected.  I need the megaraid2 driver.... oh
well.

I guess FTP installs aren't scsi controller friendly?
