I think that's a bit of a red herring. For me, it's just a matter of
"if we're going to spend a bunch of money on physical media" I'd like
to have any horrible bugs fixed, if we can.
Yes,
And if we spend the time to create new iso's for that, I think it
would be a good idea to make those available to our end-users. Call it
a .0.1 release, call it a brown paper bag release (not meant in any
disrespect to DaveJ, but the kernel is kinda a brown paper bag
kernel). Eitherway if we invest time and QA to make new iso's for
this, we should make them available, as the time has already been
invested then.
I vote for doing a new spin with:
-a new kernel included (we might have to wait a bit for this new
kernel to
become available and proven)
-perhaps an updates.img included
-perhaps one or two updates for very very critical no interaction needed
network abusable security issues.

I would second these. My initial experience with the first F7 ISOs was
very bad. It won't install on my real hardware from DVD as the install
won't recognize the drive. My second attempt was a LiveCD which
promptly bombed with a listing of block errors on sr0. Didn 't even
know I had an sr0. My third attempt was to load F7 in QEMU. Would only
work with HTTP option. Once I got it loaded it wouldn't run with kqemu
so I had to run it without acceleration and I don't need to tell you
that it isn't even usable without acceleration. My next attempt was in
Xen on a FC6 host. Setup a domain in virt mgr pointing to a good
mirror. It started anaconda and then when it got to the partitioning
screen it showed no drives or partitions available for installation.
Completely hangs the install right there. So yes, I'm ready for
something a little more tested.
my 2c,
Gerry
