Hi again, everyone. We did an RC2 spin yesterday to fix a single bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744463

so aside from that bug, all other RC1 testing is valid. RC2 is at:

http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.RC2/

and the test results page is at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_16_Final_RC2_Desktop

There's also a silent re-spin of the RC2 lives going on because we
discovered they were built using the wrong livecd-tools, so the images
will be replaced over the next few hours. That change again fixes just a
single bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748344

and is only relevant if you're booting a live image via EFI.
