TC1 is the current state of the art: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/17.TC1/ with TC1, we think, the live images written to USB with l-i-t-d (use the very latest livecd-tools you can find) or dd should boot on at least most Mactels. The DVD / netinst image written to USB apparently doesn't work (though the new livecd-tools might change that). There will be a TC2 shortly incorporating a new anaconda and built with a new livecd-tools; TC2 written with the very latest livecd-tools (updates are submitted for 16 and 17) should be the best we can do, and a significant improvement for EFI / Mac booting, lots of bugs have been squished. Additionally, it makes dd of the DVD ISO to USB 'just work' - it will pick up the packages on the USB stick without any manual kernel parameter addition being needed. Which is cool. So, long story short - we'll be very interested in reports of success/failure with TC2 (which should show up tonight or tomorrow) written with dd or the very latest livecd-tools builds for F16/F17: livecd-tools-16.14-1.fc16 and livecd-tools-17.10-1.fc17 . -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
