Hi! We got scheduled to Meeting point 2 on Saturday, from 12:30 PM to 3:40 PM, there are currently free slots after the lab but also OpenLMI guys would like to share our machines :( How many machines I should ask for? Last time I heard about 4 machines, so to have some reserve 6 would be enough I guess (and OpenLMI guys are going to use them too). > 1) Dual-boot: provide the user with a VM that has Windows installed, > and see if the user can install Fedora alongside it without wiping > Windows.

Btw. not only shrink was dropped but we would not be able to provide Windows at all (licenses etc.). > 2) Customized LVM: provide the user with a diagram and writeup of a > specific LVM layout we'd like him or her to use while installing > Fedora. > > 3) Customized RAID: provide the user with a diagram and writeup of a > specific RAID configuration we'd like him or her to use while > installing > Fedora. > > 4) Preserve /home: provide the user with a VM that has Fedora 17 > installed on it with a separate /home directory, and see if the user > can > install Fedora 18 on top of Fedora 17 without wiping the /home > directory > from Fedora 17. > > Some scenarios we are leaving out here: > > - BTRFS configuration - there's actually a bug that is in F18 gold > that > complicates BTRFS installations > (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893758) so it might not > be > a good idea to include this anyway. > > - text mode UI - I think having 4 folks who are not American & native > English speakers (the default setting for the UI now is English / > us-en > keyboard) is much more valuable than having one or more of them split > off and do a text mode UI.
