Having found an f13 beta (TC0) on the public server I decided to see
what it would do. For my hardware, it is certainly not ready. The
relevant parts of my hardware are:
AMD Athlon Dual core 3800+
GEForce 6100
MSI-7252 motherboard
Here are the symptoms with an x64 dvd install.
1) In normal mode, after choosing keyboard and language, the video just
started putting out noise.
2) Retrying with basic driver
a) The various screens skipped the one that lets me choose the
install device. Instead it asked me which of my hard drives contained
the install image. Hitting the back button let me choose a dvd install.
b) X failed to initialize so the install automatically reverted to
text mode.
c) Anaconda detected an existing f12 so it offered me the choice of
updating or reinstalling(whatever that means since 12!=13). It did not
offer me a choice to install a new version. When I chose reinstall, it
went through the motion of package resolution so I abandoned. I didn't
want to override my existing f12 partition.
I haven't submitted any bug reports yet. Which, if any, of these
symptoms require one? Did I jump the gun and use a version which wasn't
meant for external testing?
