Docs beats writer(s) for f18?

[Sergio Cipolla]

Jayson, I might help you now that there are live-CDs already (
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/18-Alpha-RC2/Live/i386/ ).

Unfortunately I couldn't make it work from ISO. There was a script I used
to patch the initrd but it didn't work with this ISO. It's very slow from
the CD (they will certainly improve that as it took a very long time to
boot).
Note: my hardware is old.

Re. the live-CD itself:
- icon theme is set to 'Rodent' but when the desktop came up (BTW, it boots
to lightdm login screen) it was showing the GNOME icon theme.
- it's set to not show images in the menu (Settings>Appearance). Just
saying, I don't know if this is just the default Xfce setup.
- particular to my case, auto-mounting worked for me after I don't even
know how long ago (it didn't work with F17 live-CDs). I'll check
thunar-volman's version in F17 to see if it's because of that but I suspect
it's some underlying service that it uses (I have removed thunar-volman
from my installed system but I'll try it again).
- panel doesn't have neither mixer applet nor clipman applet, but it may
fall on that 'default Xfce' rule.
- first time I clicked on the 'web browser' launcher it didn't open
anything, then I opened the 'preferred applications' to see if it was set
and it was (Firefox) then next time the launcher worked. This I suspect was
just my system struggling to run the CD.
